Chapter 751： growing up

No matter what changes have taken place in the throne of the Lord of the Storm, Gao Wen obviously can't get the answer from the mouth of the deep-sea harmonic **** who is playing with the tip of his tail.

Even, it seems that the entire race of Siren is still at a loss.

He couldn't help pinching his chin, leaning back on the high-back chair, letting his undulating thoughts diverge.

The news brought by Tyre made him irresistibly have an impulse, making him want to go to the deep sea, to the opposite end of the endless sea, to take a personal look at the country of the sea monster, or to see the storm in person. The body of the Lord, to confirm some of his judgments.

However, he couldn't do it, not only because he couldn't set aside the newly established empire at will, but also because the Cecil Empire did not have enough navigation technology to cross the endless ocean.

But thinking of the word "nautical technology", Gao Wen couldn't help but think of another thing that bothered himself: the Cecil Empire does not have a suitable estuary at present.

Most of the Cecil Empire is inland, and there are no coastlines in the south, east, and west. The only coastline is located in the extreme north, outside the mountains in the north, and it is an undeveloped zone. The climate, the obstruction of the mountains, and the danger of the ocean itself made the Kingdom of Anzu never consider developing that place for hundreds of years.

But there can't be deserted forever.

Gao Wen raised his head, glanced over the tip of Tyre's dangling tail, and looked at the map of the entire mainland not far away.

Beyond the mountains north of Anzu, the northern part of that coastline is not empty.

Opposite a narrow strait, you can first see a huge island. The Violet Kingdom, known as the country of wizards, is located on that island. On the east side of the Violet Kingdom, the land of the Holy Dragon Principality protrudes from Loren mainland It formed the shape of a horse's head, and turned back to the west to a peninsula. The end of the peninsula also faces the mountains in the north.

In the past Ansu era, the northern kingdoms were basically synonymous with mysterious and distant names. The closedness of the feudal dynasty combined with the objective factors of inconvenient transportation led to very weak links between the countries in the northern regions. Basic communication was maintained by the border aristocracy. In addition, the circulation of a small number of civilian caravans is already the limit. The so-called "international activities" in the old times are also limited to this.

Take the Kingdom of Violet as an example. There is only a narrow "Northern Strait" between that mysterious country of mages and Ansu. The strait itself belongs to the "safe area" of the endless sea. There are no storms or magic turbulence. Yes, but the two sides still do not have any fixed "flights". The exchanges between the two countries rely on only a few adventurer-like captains for a limited number of "private flights", or the superpowers directly cross the sea.

As for the Duchy of the Dragon, the situation is better. After all, there is a land connection between that country and the Cecil Empire. However, the Duchy of the Dragon is more conservative and mysterious than the Kingdom of the Violet. Even if the two countries are connected by land, the old security There are almost no strangers from the Principality of the Holy Dragon in the Soviet Union-on the contrary, the wizarding organizations from the Kingdom of Violet are occasionally seen in the large and small wizard organizations.

Most of those mages came directly across the strait with the power of the transcendent, and a few came to Loren by private boat.

In the old days, these were the norm.

However, in the new order planned by Gao Wen, this situation will soon be broken in the coming cross-border trade, study abroad boom, and the layout of the northern mainland's transportation network.

He has already tried to lay a railway in the Ogure tribal country in the west. In the future, he intends to open the closed door of the Holy Dragon Principality, the Violet Kingdom, which is also the object of the Cecil Empire ’s trade activities. Settlement area "on this big ship.

The magic guide train can solve the traffic problem on land. Restarting the North China mainland route 700 years ago is another issue for Gao Wen.

And even without considering the plan of the Cecil settlement area, without considering the needs of connecting countries from the sea, and challenging the ocean, this is a step that the Cecil Empire must take.

People can't trap themselves on the land forever, let alone the existence of sea monsters and dragons remind Gao Wen at all times-this world is still big.

...

"The outside world is big!"

Sitting at the dining table at home, Byron said to the girl across the table with an exaggerated expression. The corner of his mouth was still stained with a little bit of bread, and he looked proud and flaunted.

"From the rock to the north, along the Gorgon River all the way to the old capital, the plain there is very different from the south ...

"... I was busy fighting at that time, and there were monsters everywhere on the East Bank. I commanded the battleship to hit them with shells and beams. Have you seen those guns on the training ground? The main gun on Dad's ship is bigger than that ...

"St. Sunil has a very high wall, and there are ribbed guard walls outside the wall, much higher than the walls of Tanzan and Kant. I saw with my own eyes Cecil's flag there ... Don't believe it Your Uncle Philip talked nonsense, I was really on the scene at that time-although the flagship stop was a little far from the city wall, I could still see ... "

The girl sitting across the table smiled, leaned over, and smeared the breadcrumbs around Byron's mouth with her fingers, making a "wow" sound.

This voice represents a small lesson.

More than four years have passed, and the old, thin and dumb little dumb, now has a bit of slimness, good nutritional supplements and training under the guidance of the Cavaliers ’father have quickly raised the peas, and the original rough skin has become Healthy, ruddy, messy yellow hair was draped softly over her shoulders. She was sitting there, almost unable to see what she was like.

But she still enjoys listening to Byron's self-flaunting stories.

"Oh, it's okay-you don't need to pay attention to this detail when eating at home," Byron waved his hands indifferently. "I finally took a vacation ... By the way, how did you finish last week?"

Pea smiled proudly, reached out and took a tablet from the side, brushed a string of words on it, and showed it to the adoptive father across the table.

"Comprehensive ... a +, hey, that's good," Byron saw the words on it, and immediately patted his thigh, then rubbed his legs while looking at his adoptive daughter, "what's the reward?"

The pea thought about it, erased the words on the writing board, and wrote a line of words again, and showed it again:

"I will come back safely in the future."

Byron looked at the tablet, and stunned, he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about me. I can't do anything else, and my life-saving ability is still very strong. It's your Uncle Philip, who is still working hard to build the line of defense at the Changfeng Fortress. It looks like I am going to die generously, and it will surely kill me ... "

Then, Byronton gave a moment and scratched his chin: "I suddenly remembered that you have finished all the classes in the general school. You must go to Imperial College next time. Do you want to report to which branch?"

The pea thought about it, shaking his head a little slowly.

"It's okay, then think slowly. Anyway, the winter admissions season has passed, and you are not yet an adult. It is not too late to make a decision next spring," Byron said freely, and then remembered things, "Yes. You said you were going to South Street with two friends today, right? "

The pea nodded, picked up the tablet, and wrote a few lines of words:

"A new 'Film Pictures' company has been opened in the south of Mage District, recruiting people who have knowledge of magic.

"I'm done with Pafil and Bobby to work part-time.

"Go every day and go home at night."

"I've heard of that company," Byron nodded. "His Majesty's approval and strong support from the Office of Government Affairs. The creators seem to have the North and West heirs. It feels very reliable. You go Just be safe, don't come back too late at night-the astrologer said it might snow tonight. "

Pea got up with a smile, changed the clothes to go out, brought her own writing board, and pushed the door to leave the house.

The house was quiet, and only Byron was left in the restaurant.

The imperial naval commander paused for a while at the table, and suddenly laughed at himself.

"It was so hard to take a vacation. I was not used to staying at home ...

"Philip went to the border to guard, and there were army forces in control throughout the empire. The fleet was really free for two months ...

"Well, when did I become so active?"

As he mumbled, Byron stood up, preparing to take a nap upstairs, but as soon as he got up, he heard the bell hanging in the entrance hall ringing.

He hurried to the door of the room, and muttered as he opened the door: "Forgot to bring something? I told you ..."

He didn't finish his half-word, because it wasn't the peas standing at the door, but a stooped humpback, looking at a bad old man like a fake drug dealer.

Byron thought about it, and closed the door halfway back: "No one at home, come back tomorrow."

"Don't stop, I know you're kidding," Pitman waved and walked into the house with surprising agility, "I just saw the peas go out, I guess it's you alone at home, I just came to see you. "

Byron glared and looked at the little old man: "Watch how the middle-aged bachelor frowns all day in the restaurant after the only adoptive daughter goes out?"

Pittman looked at Byron in surprise and said, "I haven't said anything yet-why did you conclude yourself?"

Byron stared at Pittman, but was too lazy to continue tangling with the other side.

Because the little old man was almost on par with him on the level of embarrassment and shame, at this point, this old immortal guy was not as interesting as Philip who could only take the stubble and jump into the pit.

Byron sighed, closed the door and said to Pitman, who had slipped to the table to pick up snacks, "Come in, just come in. I just have something to ask you."

Pittman didn't look up, picking up snacks and responding casually: "It's about peas talking?"

"It looks like you are really here today," Byron walked to Pittman. "That's the thing-the peas still can't speak, but you're not saying that the bioengineering technology dug out of the nest of all things will cure How is she? "

"I'll ask you something first," Pitman finally raised his head, and his beard was covered with dim cake. "Did her tongue grow out?"

"... It's really growing up again, and she's not used to it for days."

"So, from the perspective of flesh and blood regeneration, my team has succeeded. Pea is already a healthy girl from a physiological structure. She has a tongue, a vocal cord, and her nerves are fine. You know that."

"But she still can't speak," Byron stared at Pittman with a serious expression. "What the **** is going on?"

Pittman was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "She was cut off her tongue for a full six years ... Do you know what the concept is?"

Byron's face was gloomy.

"Her brain has forgotten how to direct her vocal organs," Pittman said slowly. "Even though her tongue has been rebuilt, her language skills have deteriorated to infancy. This is our conclusion. . "

"But it can still be retrained, right?" Byron asked hopefully. "It's like letting a baby learn to talk, even if she learns slowly, she can learn from the beginning ..."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Pittman shook his head. "I've seen similar examples. It turns out that this kind of" rehabilitation "requires not only hard work, but sometimes also luck. There are many factors that can't be clearly explained. Rehabilitation effect. Pea may retrain her ability to speak, but if she has any trauma, or her brain refuses to speak persistently, she may never be able to speak again ... Unfortunately, although I There are superb biotechnology, but there is little research on these issues. "

Byron frowned, staring at Pittman's eyes: "You're coming to me today, shouldn't you just say these frustrating bad news?"

"Of course not," Pitman smiled slightly. "In fact, we have some new things in the technology field recently ... I guess it might have some effect on peas."

(I recommend a fairly tender book with the title "I'm Dead and I Get Stronger". Listening to the name, I know it belongs to a wide-opened brain.

The introduction is just one sentence: all said that the hair of sacrifice can be strengthened, and Martha seemed to have sacrificed his life.

All in all, milk sacrificed to heaven. )
