People are building infrastructure in another world

Chapter 183 (Five Thousand)
But among people whose magic power is generally low, it is like a morning star.

She had never kept the wand making secret, but the supply was always in short supply, so she didn't open a shop.

But now, wands and opals can be sold in bundles.

Then it will be another big income.

Stepping through the snow, Aurora stood on a large piece of flat ground destroyed by the baby dragon.

The magician and knight shoveled away the snow and showed Aurora the mineral deposits.

There were many large rocks in the mountain that Baby Long collapsed.

It is difficult to see clearly in the dark, but in the daytime, it is easy to see the colorful colors of gems.

It looks like a gem flower growing among big rocks, very beautiful.

This kind of stone shouldn't be called opal, it should be called a magic amplifying stone.

Its amplification intensity is also divided into levels. The white and blue ones are the most numerous and have a small increase, but they can also increase twice as much.

The highest increases are toward black and red.

The rich color means that it contains many magical elements. Wearing it on the body can increase the affinity of the elements.

Aurora only discovered this after wearing the gift Miguel gave her for a long time.

The goddess didn't say anything, after telling her about Miguel before.

It no longer proactively informs you of many things.

The goddess system who noticed Aurora's thoughts said: [I deleted part of the conversation with you and am trying to extend it to cover it up. I haven't been able to tell you many things recently. 】

Aurora suddenly realized that no wonder the goddess system looked very busy.

The goddess system does not serve Aurora all the time. It has to report to the superiors every year. It is very guilty and is afraid that this statement will be found out, so it can only rack its brains to make up for the missing time.

The speech is incoherent, the clips are deleted, and the slightest discrepancy can be detected.

Although usually no one would check the report because the data was too big, but just in case, the superiors like to pay attention to Aurora.

Aurora kept it busy.

Goddess System: [Host, you are so kind, I will go. 】

Aurora discussed with Will and the professor how to mine better.

There is also this place where no one can shit, but if others know that the magic amplification stone is mined from here, it will inevitably attract a large number of "free" miners, which will be disadvantageous to Beichen.

Things that are hidden from others must be carefully considered.

"Amplification stones are not only dropped from mountains, but also from underground mineral deposits." The entire Arctic Icefield is so big that there is no way to completely prevent others from getting involved.

There are definitely many years of mining.

The professor began to measure the terrain, and Will solved the problems caused by mining.

Aurora looked around the Northern Icefield. The Warm Stone Land and the Northern Icefield have always been clearly separated. In spring and summer, the two places are often covered with green plants and there are many wild animals.

Building one city wall is construction, and building two walls is construction. The defense projects in the North Icefield can be scaled back a little, and then more levels can be added...

Aurora thought a lot and wrote down the key points one by one with a pen. Later, people from the engineering team and the Government Affairs Department would be responsible for writing a more detailed report based on these key points.

It’s the third day to survey the terrain.

Aurora was wearing thick down and looking at the map calculated by the professor.

A white flying object came from far away and landed behind Aurora.

Behind it, followed Miguel.

When Miguel landed, the baby dragon was already rolling and playing in the snow, and its white fur blended with the snow, rolling around like a snowball.

Miguel handed Aurora a letter, "The Abbas Empire wants to attack Rondo, so it borrowed 2 troops from the Gao Yi Kingdom. The princess blames you a little."

Aurora shrugged. "We have to fight eventually, so let's fight. Does she want us to atone for our sins? It's not our turn to go to war. Where is the Duke of the South?"

"The Duke is old. Among his sons, the eldest son believes in the God of Light. The second son has no interest in power. Only the third son inherits his martial arts mantle. He is only fifteen years old and has not grown up." Miguel was helpless.

"Do you want to go?" Aurora asked Miguel seriously.

"I don't want to go, but the ruins collapsed, and the temple and the king's people suffered heavy losses. The princess has no better candidate, so she will most likely send me there."

Now Beichen is prospering under Aurora's management, and large-scale internal chaos rarely occurs. There are still small fights, but the law is here, and it is difficult for nobles and big businessmen to develop their power through chaos.

"Then get involved earlier." Aurora smiled, "Negotiate the conditions. If we capture a city, one-fifth of the territory will belong to the Taylor family. If we defeat a country, then we will need five-fifths of that country's territory. One. It cannot be scattered, it must be a complete piece."

Aurora is not going to give in anymore. Her management style will put a lot of pressure on the royal family when there are huge cultural differences and economic gaps.This could lead to a civil war, and she didn't want it to break out at this time.

Considering this, Aurora said to Miguel: "Well, we only need 50 years of management rights. I want absolute control over the Land of the Dead."

50 years is a very good deal for the royal family.

If the Abbess Kingdom is really captured, Rondo will become the largest country on the mainland.

Miguel hugged Aurora: "Aren't you worried about me?"

"I watched you grow up, how can I not know your abilities? Unless you touch that octopus with multiple hands." Aurora: "The reason why the Abbes country borrowed troops is because the people of his country cannot eat it. They are full and cannot recruit many troops at all. They are short of money and want to use troops to support troops."

The south is rich, and as long as he robs a city, it will be enough for him to fight with his gangster style.

Miguel raised the corners of his lips, feeling that Aurora really knew him very well, so he couldn't help but kiss her temples, and said: "The people of Gao Yiguo are the most hypocritical. If they are willing to borrow so many soldiers, there must be something deceitful about them. Your people, tell the story back. According to a piece of information, King Abbess went to Gaoyi Kingdom to marry the princess of Gaoyi Kingdom. She and King Abbess were in love for a few days. King Abbess returned to the country first, and then the [-] soldiers will go to Abbess with the princess of Gaoyi Kingdom. But now Gaoyi Kingdom The princess is already giving to the poor with what King Abbas gave her.”

Hahaha, how long has it been since the encirclement and suppression activities ended?

Gao Yiguo couldn't wait to marry the princess. No matter how much he said he loved her, he still had to give it up.

Aurora thought of a deeper level, "Will Gao Yiguo also attack other countries?"

"I'm afraid so." I'm afraid the borrowed troops are fake. They are using borrowed roads to invade the territory of a small country and plunder money. The civilians of the small country may not even dare to fart.

I just hope that the god of plague will leave soon.

The three small countries sandwiched between the two big countries may be in dire straits.

Recently they also reached a deal with Beichen, and many goods are on their way.

Aurora waved to the deputy knight commander, "Go and intercept the goods sent to..., let Baleno cooperate to block them, and don't let the goods pass."

"What should I do if those countries criticize me?" the deputy knight commander said worriedly.

What can I do? The three small countries are almost in trouble.
First, secure the goods, and the other party only gave one-third of the deposit.

The future payment is all paid in one hand and delivered in one hand.

This is the preferential policy Aurora promised.

The situation has changed, and it is not certain whether these small countries will be around in a month or two.When the time comes, it might become her territory.

As long as the small country survived, it didn't matter if she sent the goods there, but she was afraid that it would be a benefit to the two big countries.

The delivery time is still early and can be delayed.

The other side is ready to fight.

It was impossible not to fight Rondo, the king who was getting older and more confused.

Aurora looked at the snow falling again in the North Icefield and said to Miguel: "Hurry up and finish the fight. Without you, things in the Land of the Dead will have to be put on hold for a while."

Miguel put his arm around her shoulders, "Can you and I talk about something other than official business?"

Aurora turned to look at the others. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she pecked Miguel's lips and winked.

"Besides official matters, there are only private matters. But we can talk about it outside. We can only talk about it when we go back."

It is also a sweet distress for a wife to know herself too well.

Miguel thought.

……

The fact that Miguel might go to the south to fight did not affect the progress of defense construction in the Land of the Dead.

Construction is still going on intensively.

In the manor, the telephone set-up has been completed.

Just in time for summer, phones are finally going live.

Those who participated in this communication project had excited hearts and trembling hands.

Even if the alchemists are mentally prepared, it is difficult to conceal the joy of putting it into use.

This will be an era-breaking progress and a glorious moment that alchemists are looking forward to together.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the alchemists gathered together and sat in front of the phone.

Nudes took a deep breath, and as a representative, he dialed the castle phone number.As the sound of beep, beep, beep sounded, the phone was connected on the other end.

The person responsible for answering the phone was Aurora.

"Hello, I'm Aurora Taylor. Who are you?"

The sound was played externally, and everyone could hear Aurora's clear voice. Nudes took another deep breath to calm down his nervousness, "Ahem, I...I am Nudes. The test is completed. Call me. The performance is intact, there is no noise, the sound is clear..."

The alchemists were very excited when this report was announced.

Aurora said: "Thank you for your hard work. You are great."

After the alchemists passed, there were calls from law enforcement and government agencies.

In and out one after another, the effect has been seen.

All can be contacted quickly.

Aurora set her own number to an extension, and then when other people call in, the twins will pick up the call. In urgent cases, they can call the extension first.

The next day, a daily newspaper about phone calls was released, pushing the sales of daily newspapers to a new level.

Telephone: An alchemist that can make calls over long distances.

No matter how many kilometers away you are working, family, friends, and work partners can quickly receive your messages.

This unimaginable alchemical result shocked everyone in the empire.

When Didu picked up Beichen Daily, he already felt that things were going to change.

This is a great invention that affects the whole world.

The king sitting on the bed looked older and older.

The princess looked at him with a solemn expression, knowing what was bothering him.

He had previously promised Miguel that if Miguel was willing to go on an expedition, he would give him one-fifth of the land area captured.

To be able to agree so quickly, the king thought that Beichen was so far away from the south that he might not be able to fully control it.

He would then have the opportunity to take it back and use his excuse of poor management to divide the land among others.

What does it mean when the phone call comes out?
It will definitely be popularized across the country.

Beichen is a territory that has fast communication technology. How can the imperial capital, which is the center of the empire, not have it.

With the Imperial Capital now in place, other territories will follow suit in order to keep up with the masses.

He was restless, not finding the holy medicine, which was enough to disappoint him.

Now that Beichen has become stronger again, how can he feel at ease?

"It would be easy for Miguel to die in the war."

The princess' hand holding the fruit trembled, and she said softly: "Aurora's intelligence network is very big."

"Then let Aurora Taylor die too." The king's hand, which was so thin that there was only a layer of skin left, tightly grasped the corner of the quilt, and the other tightened the princess's wrist.

The white veil has completely covered his eyes, and he is almost blind. The king still does not want to give up, "Our royal family must firmly grasp the power and not let the nobles offside. The royal family does not allow the Taylor family to sit on it. They sit on it, Our race will cease to exist."

The princess was pinched painfully, and looking at the king's crazy look, she suddenly became bored.

What is the charm of power that can turn a young man who was once full of enthusiasm and ambition to do good for the kingdom into the decadent and incompetent person he is now?

During this period of time in power, the princess only felt tired. Countless problems came one after another, and her thin shoulders almost collapsed.

Thinking of Aurora's always calm face and Miguel's doting attitude, Aurora didn't get angry even if she offered him a big deal.

One can imagine how much Miguel loves Aurora.Aurora also has deep faith in Miguel.

A nourished woman and a pampered man.

Comparing her own situation, the princess felt envious and a little jealous of Aurora.

"Yes. I understand." The princess agreed casually. She suddenly thought, what would happen if one day she was no longer a member of the royal family?
If she were not from the royal family, she would hope that a generous person would sit on the throne of God.

Let the only son worth caring about live to a good old age, even if he should have a different surname.

……

The king's order for Miguel to take charge of the army has been sent out and cannot be taken back.

At the beginning of summer, Miguel took one hundred knights from Beichen, plus a total of [-] knights and attendants recruited from other territories, and headed south.

Beichen was still immersed in joy, while Miguel was already tired from running around the battlefield, waiting for the decisive moment.

When he arrived in the south, Miguel let the army reorganize itself. He first went to visit the old Duke of the south.

This time, the old Duke's third son will also go to the battlefield to gain experience.

The old Duke is over 100 years old, and his cultivation as a great magician allows him to live longer than ordinary people.

He is still in good health, but he is no longer able to lead the army.

They were sitting in the garden, where many birds could be heard chirping, looking very leisurely.

"I feel relieved when I see you coming." The old Duke spoke slowly and loudly, and it could be seen that he had good energy.

The servant pulled out the chair and Miguel sat down, "Long time no see, Duke Bill."

"It's been almost ten years since we last met."

"Yes." Miguel sat down. The weather in the south was very hot. He was wearing loose cotton and linen clothes, which was much cooler than the Duke.

Despite this, he was sweating all over. He didn't drink the red wine on the table. After getting used to drinking tea, Miguel rarely touched wine.

In the army, he also strictly prohibited all soldiers from drinking. As a leader, he should set an example.

Duke Bill saw that he didn't touch the wine glass and said, "I'll give you another drink. What do you want to drink?"

"No need. I came here just to talk to the Duke. When the time comes, I need to mobilize the soldiers stationed on the southern front, so I hope the Duke can talk to those sergeants."

Duke Bill: "You have 5000 soldiers, and you still need [-] of my men?"

"Duke Bill, those are the soldiers of the empire." Miguel said: "They are supposed to protect the border. Our soldiers are still acclimated to the south and cannot adapt all of a sudden."

Capa was also transferred to him from Tyler by Aurora, as well as fifty medical students, who are currently conditioning the soldiers' stomachs.

The south is humid and there are many mosquitoes, so we have to prepare medicines.

There are ready-made warriors who can adapt to it, so why not use it?

The soldiers stationed at the border are raised by the empire and have nothing to do with Duke Bill.

Miguel wants to call, and Duke Bill has no right to stop it.

"Besides, doesn't His Excellency the Duke want your third son to learn to lead an army? He just wants to be a polished commander?"

Duke Bill sighed and his back became rickety, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. My eldest son was in charge of those soldiers first. After he became a believer in the temple, he changed all the people in the army."

The eldest son's behavior had to make Duke Bill think about changing his heir.

And he, the Duke, was derelict in his duties as the administrator of the army.

If the incident were to be reported back to the Imperial Capital, he would never dare to imagine the terrible life he would face in his old age.

"You can call, but don't make any unnecessary moves." Duke Bill warned: "Although I am old, I can still hold the position of Duke."

Miguel was too lazy to complain to His Majesty. What he said would not be useful in front of His Majesty.

"Where did those people who were replaced go?" Miguel brought some information about the southern region from Aurora in advance. He had some understanding of the terrain and forces here, but he didn't know that even the army had been infiltrated by the temple. , and became useless.

A swarm of vermin kills one person.

Duke Bill asked someone to bring the information, but the servant was a little reluctant.

Miguel smiled sarcastically: "You are at home, it seems you can't even use the servants."

Duke Bill lowered his face and said to the servant: "Go and get it quickly. Once you hide it, it will be our fault."

The servant stamped his feet and had to run to get the information.

"I hope you don't mind. He is a bit stubborn, but he is loyal. I am afraid that after you get the information, you will turn around and settle accounts with me."

Miguel leaned back in his chair and calmly listened to the sounds of birds and insects in the southern water town. He liked this tone when the old man spoke.

Duke Bill's words need to be verified. Miguel doesn't dare to believe his words.

After taking away the list and leadership, Miguel left.

"Duke, is it really okay to have military power taken away like this?" The servant was still unwilling to accept it. It belonged to Duke Bill. How could a young man possess it beyond his authority?

"Don't talk if you don't understand anything." Duke Bill was really powerless to manage the army. "Give it to Miguel. He can only manage the period of the war. He is from Beichen and will return to the north one day. Let him manage it. Isn’t it better to find soldiers and train them well than to have children take over a mess?”
