Want you to know...

"Good morning, Griffith~"

Sonia appeared in the halo of magic holding thick textbooks and handouts, and happily said hello to the knight outside the teleportation circle.

"Griffith, even if you don't go back to class, the final exam will not disappear~"

It was already May, and Sonia had carefully prepared the notes for each class, so there was no need to worry about omissions! After Griffith, Lana and his gang won the battle, they were still stranded in Verona, in La Verona.

Nair Ling didn't know what to do, so she asked for leave and came over no matter what.

Fiona arrived two hours earlier than she did.

You need to make up for your knight's homework, and then ask how you spend Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Tuesday, and Saturday each week.

"Thank you, Sonia~ I was worried about what to do with my homework~"

Griffith nodded slightly to the countess. He was wearing a military uniform, but no armor. The open collar of his light cavalry uniform revealed two swords, a silver oak leaf knight's eagle badge and a bronze-like broad chest. He greeted the lovely lady.

Sometimes, the sword eyebrows and black hair are like battleships piercing the waves, and the proudest bull in the arena will feel ashamed.

He had been waiting on the mage tower for a long time. The moist morning fog had not yet dissipated, and a strange and long muffled sound came from the window. The knight looked sideways, and the outline of his face was reminiscent of the head of the conquering King Julius on the Beyeland gold coin.

Every line is strong and clear.

Sonia looked up in a daze for a while. Until the knight turned back, the hot breath heat wave burned her pink mouth, and the indescribable taste almost made her suffocate, fearing that the strong and powerful mandible would eat her up in one bite.

.

The Countess took a small step back, lowered her head, and held the book in her arms a little higher.

"Sorry, the steam engines broke down again," Griffith smiled awkwardly, "We shouldn't let them run at full capacity."

Sonia ignored her, hugged the textbook tightly and took a breath.

Hey, what's going on? I'm sorry I made her angry by not studying hard... Griffith felt that he had made a mistake. He looked at the handouts in the girl's arms that were thicker than a shield and quickly reached out:

"I fling myself upon books, like a hungry man upon bread—"

Sonia jumped back like a little rabbit.

Griffith was extremely embarrassed: "Okay, I'm not particularly hungry, I can wait a while..."

He said this, raised his arm, and turned towards the direction of the stairs. After a moment, there was the rustle of the skirt behind him, and the soft white hands held his arm obediently, and there was a vague sense of oppression, which made him

My mood has been so good all day long.

"Show me your manor~"

Griffith's Verona estate is an estate surrounded by fields.

Everyone thought it was a few cold, dry and simple stone houses, messy fields, swamps and woods. They ate radishes and picked chestnuts for dinner every day, at least that's what Griffith told Sonia before.

In fact, the manor house is surrounded by a creek with a stone bridge. Within the stone walls are ancient halls, kitchens, laundry rooms, bakeries and wine cellars. There are swans and herons in the creek outside the walls.

Pigeons flew around the dovecotes, and geese, chickens and partridges were raised in the yard. Various farmhouses, barns, windmills, stables and stables were scattered in the plains and villages outside the manor.

This is an old place that was somewhat dilapidated due to disrepair.

Not long after Roland's people took over, farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons, traveling merchants, militiamen and administrators kept the place in good order. The constant flow of immigrants from various places made the farms, mines and markets lively. They formed many groups.

The village surrounded the lord's estate in the center.

There is even an abandoned mage tower here. After reinforcement and repairs, it can now provide convenience for wizards and extraordinary people coming and going.

"What are you doing?"

Sonia put down her textbook and asked the knight to take her around. Tonight, the manor would hold a banquet to entertain the allies who helped Griffith fight and manage the territory.

At this time, it would be impossible without a gentle and beautiful lady to entertain everyone... Sonia feels that she has a bounden duty. In order to do this job well, she needs to have an in-depth understanding of this territory.

In addition, she was particularly worried about Griffith's safety.

Bad news spreads in Beyeland, and the mysterious world is full of legends that a god's hand has been defeated, and the final miracle is one step closer.

Just offer enough sacrifices!

"There were originally many swamps here, and the land was divided into small pieces. It was very laborious to cultivate and transport, and it also breeds diseases."

Griffith was very relaxed, without any pressure from the impending war. He took the countess to the outside of the manor wall, pointed to the plain in the distance and said:

"In the past, several wizards came out of the Ravenel family and tried to transform this place, but with little success.

"We, um, mainly the people supported by Roland, selected some ponds, built dams and sluices, and then used steam engines to pump out the water from the swamps and drain it into the pre-selected pools."

Sonia followed curiously and saw stretches of newly reclaimed wasteland, wooden bridges built over ditches and rivers, and flat-bottomed boats coming and going under the bridges.

A little further away, you can see the shrubs that have just been cleared, and waist-deep plants that have been cut down and piled together with the dug-out tree roots, extending towards the open wilderness.

Farther away, some dark and bulky machines were set up by the river, and workers around them kept adding coal to them. The steam engines roared loudly, spewed out thick smoke, and pumped the water out of the semi-dry swamp.

Pour into the river.

Sonia understood after watching it for a while, "You use steam engines to drain the swamps and level the land. As long as there is enough fuel, this work can be done day and night. The wizard will not last long!"

"This is also one of the biggest uses of Roland's steam engine," Griffith said. "We have just arrived, but we can still help. The landscape is changing every week because of our work. This is much more interesting than the magic calculation.

"

"But it's hard work!"

"That's natural. The most troublesome thing about cleaning up swamps is a small insect that chases people and bites them fiercely. The skin they bite will quickly develop a red rash and make it feel uncomfortable. Every day at noon, swarms of gadflies appear again.

Then they harassed everyone until evening. At night, there were countless mosquitoes, not to mention blood-sucking insects in the water.

"Everyone came up with an idea, covering their heads with cloth and digging a few holes only for the eyes, nostrils, and mouth.

"When you get up in the morning, wash your face first, and then smear your face, neck, and arms with mud, otherwise you will have to fight mosquitoes all day long."

Sonia asked worriedly: "What should we do?"

"You can only persist and persist. All greatness requires sacrifice," Griffith said. "The swamp is receding, and we have killed off the habitat of the bugs. Their numbers and the diseases they spread are all decreasing."

"Awesome!" Sonia excitedly grabbed the knight's arm, "I knew Griffith you would become a good lord!"

Griffith grinned and shook his head:

"I've only been here for a few days and I just did some minor work.

“What’s amazing are the hard-working and brave locals and immigrants.

"Now that the weather is much warmer, they have not stopped to rest in order to catch up with the progress in winter. On cold days, it won't take long for the accumulated water on the ground to form a thin layer of ice. After a day's work, they will be covered in mud.

The shoes were also covered with ice. When sleeping at night, no one dared to take off their shoes, because the next day after taking off the shoes, they would be as cold as ice and impossible to wear.

"Many people's fingernails were frozen. Some people's shoes and feet were frozen together. They couldn't take off their shoes, so they went to the fire. After they were heated, they took them off, and all ten toenails fell off."

"Ouch~" Sonia's whole body trembled.

People and goods coming and going made the narrow road seem crowded. Sonia didn't care. She curiously touched here and there, and from time to time she lightly avoided passing carts and puddles on the ground.

The fluttering skirt and the girl's slender waist filled the air with a seductive fragrance, and pedestrians passing by could hardly walk.

As far as the eye could see were cultivated fields, or swamps being cultivated. Finally, a huge camp appeared in the field of vision.

The camp consists of densely packed gray tents and wooden huts, extending to the foot of the mountain in the distance.

"There is?"

"Temporary settlement site for immigrants," Griffith said, "As more immigrants arrive, the rate of reclamation will increase. We have also placed many prisoners of war here and absorbed them. This is what we have been doing recently.

main job."

"Do they have anything to eat? There are tens of thousands of people here!"

"Don't worry, the money from Weifu Voucher allows us to buy machinery, farm tools and seeds, as well as the initial rations. The new farmland will be harvested in a few months, and our harvest this year will be at least ten times higher than last year.

.”

"Will there be so many?!"

"Of course, in other places that were pioneered earlier, it took more than a month just to harvest the grain on the newly reclaimed land.

"After the river is renovated, steam ships can pass through the canal, and the transportation efficiency of grain, minerals and other bulk goods has increased several times.

"We just lack manpower.

"As long as there is sufficient labor, we can dye the world."

Griffith looked into the distance. Every time he looked at this prosperous scene, he felt an uncontrollable passion.

If the mysterious world still clings to the ancient rubble, fearing and resisting the new civilization, the wheels of the times will roll over them.

Griffith reached out and grabbed the bouncing countess, making her stop and look into those blue eyes:

"Sonia, I have something very important to tell you."

Sonia's face suddenly turned pale. She was still very excited and trembling slightly, so that people could hear her heartbeat from half a meter away.

"Sonia, the final battle for the Hand of God is approaching. Aaron and Commodus are both going deep into the mysterious forbidden land, asking for the key to victory from the unspeakable existence.

"Before I face my fate, I want you to know...I..."

I have found the key to victory. This new world will create an army for me to fight against the apostles of the gods. However, I must also unite all forces that can be united...
To be continued...
