On the third day after reaching a consensus with Nicholas Egg, this "magical device from the ruins of ancient Gondor, which stores an ancient soul and forms friendship with the ancestors of Cecil" finally began to officially appear in front of the people of the New Cecil Territory.

From then on, we cannot use "it" to call this egg, but must use "he".

His appearance naturally attracted some attention, even the most numb serfs and slave workers could not help but become curious about this metal ball. When they saw a metal ball with a diameter of 1.5 meters floating in the air, and the bright tiles floated towards them, everyone couldn't help but stop and watch, and then talked about this thing with the people around them.

At first, many people were afraid because Nicholas Egg's appearance was incredible, and it was too bright under the sun, just like a magic ball that was about to explode at any time. Those civilians with shallow knowledge and superstition would even scream and run away when they saw this thing. However, Gao Wen specially sent some soldiers to preach and introduce the origin of this "magic device", and emphasized that the egg was actually a respectable ancient scholar, but he had to be trapped in the metal ball due to a magic accident. Apart from this strange appearance, he was no different from the people in the camp.

After many times of this, people finally barely accepted such a metal ball. Of course, a little bit of fear and tension is inevitable, but they did find that this round guy is harmless and can also make a sound to communicate with people. In addition, with Gao Wen's promise, everyone was forced to calm down.

And Nicholas Egg himself...I am very satisfied with his current situation.

From the first day of wandering to this strange strange world, he was in a difficult and embarrassing situation. First, he faced the strange environment, followed by the locals with bad intentions, who were caught in the laboratory as a research sample, and were almost cut into metal shavings by Gondor magicians a thousand years ago. Finally, he was suppressed by those magicians for a thousand years. Opening his eyes, it was a new world after the collapse of civilization technology. He thought he would be finished in such continuous bad luck, but he didn't expect to meet such an alternative person as Gao Wen.

He was able to communicate, understand what he said, and had broad ideas that could accept his various statements. He was neither as ignorant as the modern locals, nor as those in ancient times, he only knew how to interpret and study.

Thinking about it now, it was really a good thing to secretly run away a few days ago but someone happened to catch it. Otherwise, I would not know how long it would take for me to go out for a walk as openly as today.

But Nicholas Egg was strolling in the camp very well, but someone ran to Gowen to complain. Hetty stood in front of Gowen with a worried look on his face: "The ball has been floating around in the camp, do you really care?"

Gao Wen was lowering his head and carefully studying the information of the personnel: That was a rough registration of a hundred technicians from the royal capital. Hearing Hetty's words, he raised his head and smiled: "Has that ball made trouble for people?"

"There's no trouble," Hetty shook his head, "but his curiosity is too strong. Basically, as long as he sees someone working, he will float over and look for a long time. His appearance is really eye-catching, and the workers will inevitably be affected."

"Sooner or later, everyone will get used to it. It's just a metal ball floating around, not a dragon," Gao Wen smiled. "Of course, I'll remind him to try not to affect other people's work. By the way, then again, do you have any thoughts about Nicholas Egg?"

Hetty's face turned weird: "You really confirm giving him this strange name?"

Gao Wen spread his hands helplessly: "There is no way, he just recognizes this."

Hetty sighed: "If you think about it... Actually, I have always wanted to study how he floats up. The energy reaction he emits is very wonderful, unlike the magic power I know, and he can float in the air forever, if this is a talented spell..."

"Stop," Gao Wen quickly interrupted Hetty's already divergent thinking. "If you just want to study, then you should restrain yourself. That guy was arrested by the magicians of the Gondor Empire a thousand years ago and studied it for a long time. Now the psychological shadow is particularly serious. This will make him finally build up his trust in us disappear."

"Of course, I'm just thinking about it now," Hety smiled apologetically. "I care more about what you mentioned now. There are still samples that were hidden in the ruins in the mountains that were not able to be removed a thousand years ago. I heard that you asked the Knight Philip to organize an exploration team? Are you going to find those dangerous things in the ruins now?"

"Of course not," Gao Wen shook his head, "You said that is a dangerous thing, not something we can get involved in now. I asked the Knights of Philip to organize the team mainly to explore the shallow layers of the ruins and to check the forks that we had not explored when we entered the ruins before. You know, it is a huge and solid fortress... and you don't think it's a waste to put it in the mountains and not use it?"

Herty opened her eyes slightly: "You want to..."

"If you use it a little, you can at least use the rooms between the entrance hall and the shallow corridor. After all, this is a dark mountain range, and dangers will always occur. If there is an emergency, you can at least go to the fortress to take refuge, right?"

After saying this, he lowered his head and focused again on the roster of the one hundred people.

"Fifteen formal craftsmen, including stonemason, carpenter, blacksmith, cobbler, etc., and there are ten craftsmen who are good at building houses. There are only two formal spellcasters, one of which is a second-level arcane and the other is a fourth-level rune master," Gao Wen couldn't help laughing while watching, "Jenny Perro, a fourth-level rune master, the highest-level profession in the team. This is the king's generosity, there is actually an intermediate-level spellcaster..."

Heti couldn't help frowning when he heard Gao Wen's words, because she was actually not satisfied with the "middle-level spell caster": the fourth-level rune master was the highest in the middle level in the team of 100 people. According to the "three-level first-level" division method, she was already an intermediate level. An intermediate-level spell caster was indeed considered a high-end talent. After all, in the current territory, except Gao Wen, the most powerful one is the third-level profession. However, rune masters can't actually calculate this way. Although they are also called "magists", they are actually "workers" among mages. What they master is the technology of carving runes and magic circles on various magic objects and magic circles. Compared with conventional mages, their biggest strength is that their hands are relatively stable...

How can runes masters advance? Everyone draws runes and magic circles in groups, and they can draw more and better within the specified time, and as for the casting ability...

Rune masters only have the most basic magic skills, which can sense magic and identify different elements. Usually, their mage level is around level 2, and the minimum level 1 mage who has just graduated from an apprentice can become formal rune masters.

In the eyes of ordinary people who cannot master magic, rune masters who can draw magic circles are also mysterious and powerful "magic masters", but in the eyes of real mages, rune masters are "scarce products" that are lower than them or even several levels, and their status is only a little higher than the "rune craftsmen" who cannot cast spells at all. Rune masters can only help formal mages, act as vassals, and help the latter make magic objects or draw magic circles with rune craftsmen. Because they do not have too high magic skills, rune masters cannot even use the magic circles and props they have made. The weak magic power and inferior magic control skills are completely insufficient to control those complex magic circles.

Therefore, this is a profession to make wedding dresses for others.

Hetty does not have the noble mentality of most mages, and she does not discriminate against the rune master who is regarded as a "magic servant" by mainstream mages, but she can see at a glance that the rune master named "Jenny Perot" is actually a nominal intermediate spell caster who was stuffed in by the king. With such a person in the team, Francis II was equivalent to doing his politeness, and even if it was spread out, it could be used as a good talk.

This is what made Hetty most dissatisfied with, and there were only two spellcasters in this team, and the rest were all mage apprentices or craftsmen apprentices, which made her think that the team sent by the King Capital was seriously lacking in sincerity.

Hetty is not a person who is very good at hiding his expression, especially when he was in front of Gao Wen, so the latter could see her dissatisfaction at a glance: "What? I think a Level 4 rune master is insulting our IQ?"

"The king has no sincerity," Hetty said very bluntly, "If a rune master Rebecca practices his skills well, he might be better than her. This is just putting it in to make up the numbers."

"This should not be what Francis II meant," Gao Wen waved his hand. "The king must be concerned about my attitude, so his support for Cecil's pioneering land would not be too heavy, but he must bear the pressure of other nobles in the capital. Those nobles may not hope that the Cecil family can rise rapidly. In fact, most of them may wish that our former southern ruling family could die quietly in the dark mountains. In this case, do you think they would allow a capable and valuable technical team to come here?"

Hetty's face became very ugly: "Those narrow and greedy nobles of the capital... the Cecil family had no idea of ​​competing for any interests with them, but they took so much effort to destroy them."

Gao Wen shook his head: "This is the rule of conduct of the nobles. You cannot accept it. It only means that you are not a qualified nobleman according to their standards. Of course, I am not qualified."

"Then you have this list..."

"Of course I'm accepting it, why not?" Gao Wen laughed. "No matter how much I say this, there are only a hundred technical talents. Even if I put it together randomly, it's better than nothing. These blacksmiths and carpenters won't even know how to use hammers and saws, right? And I also want to meet this rune master named Jenny Perrow. There is a sentence on her information that interests me."

"Which sentence?"
