Not a Witch

After regaining this area, after some discussion, the senior leaders of Crancia decided to use this area as the country's light industry production site to produce some daily-needed but not particularly critical products, such as glass, textiles, and soap. some type of.

As for the more critical steelworks, alchemy workshops, shipyards, and golem workshops, they were all relocated to the hinterland of Crancia, especially the areas near the Mountains of Sighs.

Firstly, it is safer to be far away from the border of the Canghong Empire, and secondly, it is close to the mining area, which facilitates the transportation of raw materials nearby.

As for the mages and alchemists of the Frost Alliance in the past, they were all imprisoned for trial, and different punishments were given according to the degree of participation in the war.

The major factions that fought and initiated the war in the past were all disbanded, some of their members were executed, some became prisoners, and they were not allowed to practice the Transcendent Sequence again for life.

Participating in lighter factions means confiscating all property. Although you don't have to be a prisoner, you still need to serve the country for 5-10 years before you can regain your freedom.

The descendants and children of these factions will not be allowed to enter the country's public office in the future, and even their education will be restricted to a certain extent.

It may seem cruel to outsiders, but revolution and war are not child's play, this is a cruel struggle between life and death.If the Frost Alliance wins, Clancia's situation will only be even more miserable.

In fact, such a punishment is relatively light. After all, considering the need to unite the members of Xuehua Seven in the future to jointly fight against the invasion of the Canghong Empire, the alchemists of the Frost Alliance in the past will also be recruited.

However, even if they are recruited, they must get rid of their arrogance, otherwise they will not think that they are wrong, but will be proud of their talents, thinking that they are superior and can be exempted from punishment if they are capable.

At the same time, treating these people too favorably is also unfair to those soldiers and people who died in the war.Therefore, even if it is appeasement and inclusion, there are corresponding standards. These alchemists must feel pain and fear, so that they can finally submit to the same idea, instead of maintaining their own small circle and swaying at any time.

These measures and guidelines were set by Lorraine Hill before the decisive battle. At that time, as the war progressed, when many territories of the Frost United were incorporated into Crancia's command, she foresaw the future situation.

Although Lorraine Hill is always soft-hearted when facing the people and things around her, it doesn't mean that she will be vague in principle. If she can't make up her mind to uphold justice and justice at critical moments, then the so-called ideal is just a joke .

Now after the Canghong Empire used troops against the Apocalypse Fortress, a large number of troops passed through Liuli Province and went to fight at the Apocalypse Fortress on the border. Liuli Province, which is a well-developed light industry, is also busy, urgently processing and producing various materials.

In a factory, metal gears rotate repeatedly, and steam emerges from the valve port from time to time. White raw silk rods are continuously rotated, and the silk threads are drawn out and added to the spinning machinery behind.

This is a textile factory that produces gauze, cotton wool, and tents. In the workshop, there are women workers wearing white scarves and masks, working intensely in this steamy space.The sound of machinery and transmission belts can be heard everywhere, the gears are being knocked regularly under the moistening of lubricating oil, and the smell of evaporated cotton mixed with the smell of oil stains permeates everywhere.

Because it was a time of war, unlike in the past, these women workers often work until late to get off work, but the advantage is that the state also provides a lot of subsidies. One of the skilled women workers can earn 24 silver coins a month, which is almost the same in a year. It's just 3 gold coins, which is a lot of money.In Liuli Province, an ordinary house in the city only costs 8-12 gold coins.

So despite being busy, everyone is still very happy, and even hopes that this time will last longer.

After get off work, the clock hanging in the factory building has reached 10 o'clock at night.

"Clean up, everyone, and check before you leave to see if the machine is closed..." An aunt with thick shoulders and waist held a horn and patrolled the workshop, accompanied by three people who were also inspecting.

"If there is a problem with the machine, or if there is any abnormal noise, please report to me. There will be craftsmen rushing to repair it overnight, so as to avoid delaying tomorrow's work, understand?" The small inspection team walked up to a high iron platform and asked He preached to the more than 300 female workers in the workshop.

"clear."

"Understood." A series of sparse voices sounded.

After a day's work, everyone was a little tired and didn't have much strength to answer, and they were a little tired of hearing these words every day.

After that, these female workers in aprons walked out of the workshop in twos and threes, and walked towards the dormitory in the dark.

"Phew, I'm finally off work, my legs are sore today."

"Hehe, what are you doing? You see, Sister Bei Na's legs were swollen last time." After taking off their masks, these female workers seemed to want to finish what they hadn't said all day.

"Then how did it work out?"

"I don't know either, it seems like bloodletting or ice packs or something."

"Do I still have to apply ice? I feel that buying ice cubes is expensive, so I might as well save them up." The brown-haired female worker was a little bit reluctant.

"Or you can find that one. Doesn't she live in the dormitory next door to yours?" The companion on the side pointed to the front, and a girl walked ahead alone. She seemed to be in good shape, with blond hair tied in a white scarf .

"Ah, Ladis, she doesn't seem to get along with us, she feels quite noble, let's forget it."

"I heard that she used to have a good family background. She seems to be some kind of noble lady. She probably doesn't like us people." Another short female worker also came over and whispered.

"It's hard to say, but if she's a noble lady, why isn't she locked up now? It's probably because she thinks she's pretty and deliberately exalted her status."

"Haha, your idea is quite true, haha. But what if the noble lady is still working in this factory with us. What's the use of being beautiful, and no man comes to see it."

Several people talked and laughed wantonly, it seemed that such ridicule also made them much happier.

The blond girl in front still didn't look back, she walked quietly in the night, crossed the street with sparse street lights, and headed towards the residence.

puff.

Maybe there was something hidden in her heart, or maybe her consciousness drifted to the distant past, and the blonde girl accidentally stepped into a puddle.The cold and muddy sewage instantly soaked the shoes, and most of the pants and aprons were also wet, stained with a layer of sand.

She resisted the pain in her ankle, stood up slowly while supporting a street lamp, panting heavily, and it took a while to ease the pain.

Afterwards, the girl found an abandoned wooden box on the side of the road, groped for a while, and after making sure that there were no nails, she sat down carefully, then took off the leather shoes on her feet, poured out the dirt and sand in them, and then took off her wet socks. down.

A burst of cold breath gathered in the palm of the hand, and then moved closer to the ankle, relieving the pain.After resting for a while, she stood up slowly, then put on her cold shoes barefoot, and continued walking towards the residence.

Opening the closed door, the lights in the dormitory had already been turned off, and several other people had already fallen asleep.

Ledis carefully walked to the side to take off her shoes and put on the clogs on the side, trying not to make any noise during the period, waking up the other roommates, then she picked up the copper basin under the bed and walked to the corridor outside the dormitory.At the end of the walkway, there is a place for fetching water for bathing.

Cold water flows from the faucet. Letice first rinses her hands and feet, then unties the hair tie at the back of her head, loosens her still brilliant blond hair, rinses it clean, and finally fills the water to the other side of the bath. room to scrub the body.

After it was over, she used her weak magic power to dry her body before returning to the quiet dormitory.

After putting the copper basin back under the bed, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Ledis, you are back."

Surprised, she suddenly raised her head, and accidentally bumped into the bed above, and there were a few murmurs.

"Let no one sleep."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She explained uncomfortably, then lowered her head and looked at the roommate who greeted her.

"What's the matter Lu Lisa?" This petite roommate is one of the few friends she has.

"I've received a reply, come with me." After finishing speaking, the roommate pulled him to the balcony outside the dormitory, where whispering would not disturb the people resting inside.

"Didn't you say last time that the spinning machine in the workshop could be improved? I submitted your drawings. Then when I got off work today, the guard said there was a letter from me."

As she spoke, the girl took out an envelope and opened it.

[Dear Miss Lu Lisa:

I am very glad to receive the improvement drawings reported by you. After discussion and verification by several colleagues in the Design Institute, we believe that this is indeed an effective improvement idea. I believe that it will be used in the future spinning machine manufacturing. kind of structure.

Thank you for your suggestion. For the drawings submitted this time, the Design Institute has specially approved a bonus. You can claim it at the nearby post office with this letter.

At the same time, if you intend to study in a formal college, we can also prepare a recommendation letter for you. If you have relevant suggestions for improvement in the future, you can also submit this email address...]

"You're getting rich, Ledis, this is five gold coins." Lu Lisa lowered her voice, but said happily.

"Yeah." Lettice also had a faint smile on her tired face.

"Tomorrow we will go to receive the bonus." After speaking, Lu Lisa began to think about how to divide the money, and finally she wanted to give all four of the gold coins to Ladis.

"No, you don't need so many. Just give me one." Letis shook her head, and then continued to look at the lively girl in front of her.

"Didn't you always want to go to school? Just take two gold coins to sign up, and the other two will be used for living expenses."

"But it's all thanks to Letice." Lu Lisa was a little puzzled.

"Maybe, but it's useless to give me money now, because of my status, I can't go to the academy." Letice shook her head in a low voice, and then raised it again.

"Didn't you dream of going there all the time? If you want to become a great alchemist in the future, then go, take my share, and do your best." Ledis said softly while supporting Lu Lisa's shoulder.

"But...but what about you, Ladis?" Lu Lisa looked at the beautiful and plainly dressed girl.

"Where is your future..."

Chapter 120 Plantagenet Dynasty

Luojing in the Eastern Continent.

A certain room in Nandou Academy.

The curtains of the circular windows were closed for nearly two weeks before they were finally opened.Slender fingers opened the light-colored curtains on both sides and pushed open the windows, allowing the wind to flow into the room and play in it, bringing the fresh air of early autumn.

Lorraine Hill changed into a light white dress, with blue embellishments on the collar and corners, and a tight-fitting girdle around the waist, outlining a beautiful figure.

Drying the water droplets on her cheeks with a towel, the silver-haired girl combed her hair in front of the bronze mirror, then tied a light blue headband, and after turning around for a while, she picked up the butterfly hairpin again , fixed on the hair behind the ear.In this way, it does not seem too monotonous.

After tidying up, Lorraine Hill pushed open the door, ready to go out for a walk.

At this time, there was a sound of flapping wings behind her, and the girl felt her right shoulder sink slightly, and a fat bird with orange-red crest feathers landed beside her.

"Are you going out too?" Lorraine Hill stroked the feathers of the chrysanthemum bird.

"Jiujiu~" (want to eat delicious food)

It seemed that he was very hungry recently, and Lorraine Hill turned around again, looking at the blue jay who hadn't moved in the room.

"What about you, you must be hungry recently." The two little guys seemed to have slept with him for a while, and it was unclear whether they were hungry.

The blue jay tweeted, saying that he didn't want to go out for the time being, but also expressed the hope that the girl would bring back some delicious food.

"Well, I will remember." Lorraine Hill nodded his head slightly, and then walked downstairs with Dai Ju beside him.

The buildings in the school palace are similar to the back shape, with a courtyard in the middle, a water pool and a rockery, and seven-story pavilions around it, all of which are rooms for students to live in, which are generally used to house students from all over the dynasty.

The Eastern Dynasty is different from the Western Dynasty. It did not adopt the practice of enfeoffing lords, but a highly centralized model. It is said that its administrative model was first learned from the Mercury Dynasty.

The Mercury Dynasty is quite special. It adopts a multi-consul governance model. The highest-ranking consul even has the title of king. These consuls rely on the tacit understanding of fighting together for many years to form a mechanism similar to a parliament or a cabinet. Jointly negotiate and decide on major national affairs, and formulate unified laws and policies.

However, unlike the Western model in the girl's memory, these consuls were not born by election, but ascended to this position purely by strength or merit.

As for the judging criteria of strength and merit, it is actually very rough and simple, that is, under your leadership, how many people can be guaranteed to survive and how many enemies can be killed.

If one ancient creature could be used to describe Mercury Dynasty, it would be the Hydra.Each consul has a complete system. Even if the Mercury Dynasty suffers a big defeat and a certain consul dies, there are still multiple consuls in the dynasty, and they can still make a comeback.Moreover, every consul is orthodox, and there is no such thing as panic when one dies.

They use a highly unified combat manual and command system. Even if the upper-level executives and necromancers are defeated, other officers and necromancers will receive the defeated army, and they can integrate the army in a short time.

The successor consul will quickly absorb the dead consul's army and then integrate it, fighting again, and it will burn like wildfire.

Although the elven kingdom and the orcs defeated the army of the Mercury Dynasty time and time again, killing one consul after another, there will always be new consuls behind to take over the banner and authority, and then continue to lead the battle.

At the time of the most intense war of the Mercury Dynasty, 7 high-level consuls fought against the three kingdoms of the elves at the same time, 4 high-level consuls blocked the orc empire, and 2 high-level consuls strangled the remnants of the ogre kingdom.

Most of these high-ranking consuls are the existence of Necromancer Series 9, or they are simply witches. They have lived for a long time, dealt with common enemies, and have extremely deep friendship with each other.Gathering every few years to negotiate the dynasty's next move, while sharing the latest technological achievements.It is also for this reason that although the Mercury Dynasty has been fighting for years, its technology and system are also making rapid progress and iterations.

Year after year, year after year, until finally the deep-rooted orc and elf kingdoms were uprooted and the center of the continent was expelled, and they could only hide in the corners to survive.

However, such a magnificent and passionate era is finally over.

When the Mercury Dynasty was no longer invincible, the internal quarrels between different voices became more and more intense until they fell apart completely.

The Plantagenet Dynasty was supported by Chifeng alone, and he himself had experienced the glorious era of the Mercury Dynasty with Dorothy, so he also adopted many systems of the Mercury Dynasty when establishing the Plantagenet Dynasty.

That is to set up various professional institutions to deal with various problems.However, Chifeng adopted a more conservative bloodline inheritance in the selection of the top ruling candidates, rather than relying on strength first.
