Chapter 568: meet

Cecil City, the capital of the Lord.

Gao Wen sat behind a large desk, and Heti stood quietly beside him, and in front of the two, a clear holographic projection was emerging over the terminal of the study's magic net.

A sweet girl standing in the middle of the projection, on the table in front of the girl, there is a weird device shaped like a short, the device is supported by four feet, the top is a flat surface, on the plane In the pan, the steaks and slices of bread are making a cheerful sizzle in the hot frying.

Beyond the screen, a pleasant narration is ringing: "...Magic heating platform, the best choice to replace the traditional stove - no firewood, no open flame, save your cooking costs, and save your cleaning troubles... ...Cord Family Services always serves you. Magic brings convenience to life..."

A short video was quickly played, and Hetty waited until the screen switched back to the previous program, and broke the silence with a sigh of praise: "This is the latest advertisement of Kede Family Affairs, the ancestor, you really didn't have it. Wrong, the businessman named Cod... really has the talent that ordinary people don't have... ancestor? What happened to your ancestors?"

Gao Wen still fixedly stared at the picture on the holographic projection, until the end of the show, his eyes did not move away, his face with a quirky look, this abnormal situation makes Herti can not help but be nervous until she continues After three calls, Gao Wencai woke up as if the big dream had awakened: "Ah - I just lost my mind."

"Prince, you... is it really okay?" Hetty couldn't help but ask, because Gao Wen's face was not like the past, she felt like herself on the face that was always calm and majestic. I saw a trace of... sentimental.

But that is not sentimental, because there is obvious comfort and joy mixed in it.

"I'm fine, just some emotions..." Gao Wen looked at Hert's nervous look and smiled and comforted him. "When you see these things happening spontaneously, you feel that your constant promotion has not been in vain."

Bringing advanced ideas and magical technology into this era is not an easy task. From the beginning, Gao Wen knew this, but his biggest concern was never the "difficulties" in this process. He was most worried. The propulsion and construction of their own are "one-way accumulation". It is the foundation of this society that has not really changed. It is not ready to face the new era. The magical technology seems to be developing rapidly. The Principality of Cecil It seems to be rising rapidly, but he never dared to breathe a sigh of relief, because he was afraid that one day, his so-called "leader" would fall, and the development of this land would be stagnant, or even... going backwards.

Until now, he still dared not be completely sure whether the Principality of Cecil would continue to develop after he suddenly fell, but at least one thing he can be sure of: the once stagnant water in this pool has now flown.

Or maybe it's never been a stagnant water, even in the darkest depressed Middle Ages, in the depths of this pool... there is always a small group of people waiting for the age of water to flow.

After calming down, Gao Wen suddenly felt that his previous fears were somewhat arrogant. He couldn’t help but shook his head with self-deprecating: "Hetty, don’t you think... actually I am arrogant?"

"How arrogant? How do you think so?" Herti widened her eyes in surprise. "Your greatness is recognized by history, and your achievements are actually built on this land, compared with these achievements. Up, I feel that you are too humble on weekdays... A mediocre baron will engrave his boring life on the stone, but you have refused anyone to statue for you."

"Don't mention this," Gao Wen waved his hand. "Aside from this Cod Family Business, is there a similar rise in technology-based private industry?"

“Few, most of the talents have just adapted to the changes in the Principality. There are very few people who can react quickly like Cod and find business opportunities from Magic Technology. But it is not completely absent – ​​also in Carroll. In the region, a merchant used the universal rune substrate to find a new ice making technology. In the Hosman region, several artisans jointly opened a workshop and they tried to improve the existing magic energy pump. Adapt to the lower water table in the Hosman region. In addition... there is no more."

"There is nothing... just like it..." Gao Wen nodded.

The development of society will naturally give birth to something. As the magical technology gradually spreads outward, the colleges around the world continue to popularize knowledge to the public. The upper-class public is constantly in contact with the latest magic guides, and there will be some smart people's ideas active. - As long as there are enough expected benefits and interests to drive, these smart people with active ideas will take the initiative to contact and even want to master these new fields. In the process, wealthier businessmen and certain technical foundations The intellectuals will be the biggest driving force.

They will seize the earliest technology and policy dividends, and in Gao Wen’s view, this is what they deserve.

At this stage, the real magic technology is still in the hands of the "official", in the hands of the Magic Technology Institute, the Rune Institute, the Machinery Manufacturing Institute and the design bureaus, but Gao Wen has never restricted those non-military and non-confidential. The technology and knowledge are spread out, and the civilian-type magic guide terminal is publicly sold. In various colleges and evening schools, the universal rune substrate for “literacy” is open to the public, and like Cod’s family affairs. The folk "technical company" is developed on this small foundation.

"These things should be encouraged, not only to encourage, but also to publicize," Gao Wen said with a smile on his face. "We support the folks' spontaneous research and improvement of magical technology. As long as they comply with the law, they must support and reward. The interest is the key to technology promotion and development... It seems that the 'patent' system should be improved soon."

“Patent? Is that the thing you mentioned before to manage all kinds of technical achievements?” Herti blinked. “I know, I will come up with the draft as soon as possible.”

"Well," Gao Wen nodded, then looked up and glanced at the mechanical clock on the wall. "Say it... those elves should be coming soon?"

"Two hours ago, the Tanzanian Tower had a witness report. According to the speed of the giant eagle, it should arrive soon." Hetty nodded. "Are you ready to meet?"

"Prepare," Gao Wen stood up. "That is an important guest."

Hetty sighed: "The royal family is really down. - Such an important messenger has to rely on aliens."

Gao Wen smiled and looked at Herti: "Otherwise? Let them and the Dongjing people be more qualified to contact the South for another half a month. I am afraid that the winter team will not go out."

The elf is coming.

The huge and mighty gray-black giant eagle flies across the sky like a black cloud, flying from the sky in the northwest, the tower on the wall sounds a sharp flute and a loud horn, bright flags from The northwest corner of the city wall extends all the way to the administrative center of the city center. Beside the lord's house, on the open square in front of the "August Palace", the sharply-equipped Cecil soldiers have long waited for a long time.

Gao Wen took Hertti and Rebecca as representatives of the family and the Office of the Government, a temporary guest appearance of "The Elf Officer" of Solderin, and several officials of the Office of the Government stood on the square watching the huge raptors descend from the sky. .

The exotic raptors facing the giant eagle are a rare experience for the humans in the north, but until the giant raptors land one by one, the soldiers on the scene are still standing straight, without any extra action. .

After the giant eagle landed, a tall, graceful figure jumped from the back of the mounts and then walked toward Gao Wen and others.

The nearby military band played the music in due course.

In the sound of the music, Gao Wen’s line of sight first glanced at the giant eagle, then he turned his head slightly and asked Heti next to him: “They flew in from the northwest border all the way?”

"Yes, it first flew from the Lu'an area and was discovered by the local magic net hub tower, and then flew here along the Hosman-Asoke-White Lake Bay-Tanzan line."

Gao Wen slightly stunned and said to himself: "Although it may be a bit early... but the concept of air defense and the concept of the Air Force cannot be blank..."

Herti glimpsed: "What did you say to the ancestors?"

"Oh, nothing," Gao Wen shook his head, then his eyes fell on the elves who were coming towards him, and a short-haired female elf, who appeared to be shorter in humans, first entered his field of vision. The memory from Gao Wen Cecil was activated in an instant, and he couldn't help but whisper, "... even saw an acquaintance?"

Aside from Rebecca, I was very curious: "Ancestral adults, do you know these elves?"

Gao Wen smiled and nodded, then walked forward: "Sonya? Frosty leaves - we haven't seen it for seven centuries."

The short-haired woman who walked in the middle of all the elves speeded up. She quickly came to Gao Wen. After standing, she did not respond to the other party’s greetings first. Instead, she looked up and down Gao Wen’s eyes, with a strange face on her face. After looking at the expression for a few seconds, she showed a smile and reached out: "I can't believe that it is true even if I see it with my own eyes... Are you really alive?"

Gao Wen took Sonia's hand of Frost Leaf, and used the kiss of the human and the elves as a courtesy. Then he shook his head helplessly: "If it wasn't for the old territory, it was burnt down by a blue dragon that passed by, I can give your coffin board to you to testify."

"No evidence is needed, the elf's memory is very good - I still remember your details and sounds," Sonia? Frosty nodded, "Bersetia asked me to say hello to her, and there are General Lomare, Countess of Celia, Count of Queldoan, General Shana, Gideon Sage, and Ambassador Ciliye, all say hello to you."

When she finished, she immediately turned to a messenger partner next to her: "Remember it, I brought everything."

"Okay, write it down."

Gao Wen couldn’t help but listen to the other person’s name, which was impressed by Gao Wen’s memory in Ceci’s memory. He reluctantly spread his hand: “I was in a hurry and I was not able to see you again. One side, but suddenly it is dead... It’s not possible to plan, isn’t it?”

Sonia? Frost leaves a hand: "I got it anyway."

At this time, Rebecca, who followed up with a piece of things, couldn’t help it anymore. He picked it up: "Do you really know the ancestors? Who are those names? Are you friends of the ancestors? Are you ancestors? Amazing!"

"I have known a lot of people in the past, so I don't have to be surprised." Gao Wen glanced at Rebecca and used his eyes to indicate that Herti, who was next to her eyes, quickly took control of this stupid scorpion that could be ruined at any time. He turned around and took these special messengers to the direction of the Autumn Palace, and waved at Soldering not far away. "Solderin - don't stand so far, come and fight Say hello."

Solderin deliberately stood in an inconspicuous position from the beginning, but this time he came out helplessly. The high-ranking ranger came to Gao Wen’s side and looked slightly strangely at the silver empire. A glance at the compatriots, the line of sight finally fell on Sonya?

Sonya just took a look at Soldering and didn't talk, just waiting for the other person to speak.

Several people walking alongside Gao Wen obviously noticed the change of the atmosphere, and in every curious gaze, Solderin finally spoke up. He bowed his head and screamed a little bit: "Mother... …long time no see."

The expressions of several people were instantly wonderful. Rebecca’s eyes widened. She looked at Solderin and looked at Sonya, who was almost as tall as herself. She couldn’t help but open her mouth: "……Wow!!"
