Chapter 1122 The Industrial Age (seeking a monthly ticket)
When the first ray of morning light emerged from the horizon, Archduke Julius had already led his men to his manor in Maple Leaf Forest. The luxurious building was purchased by Catherine when she was in school.
After all, Archduke Julius was no longer young, and the living conditions in the war fortress were also very crude, and he could not get a good night's rest.
In order to improve the flight capability as much as possible, except for the necessary power, energy and weapon systems, everything else inside the war fortress is as simple and light as possible.
Such as various living facilities, eating utensils, etc., and this is especially true for sleeping and resting places.
Although Catherine felt sorry for her father, before her arrival, she specifically called in advance and asked her subordinates to set up a special room inside the war fortress.
However, how could she have expected that Queen Isabella would also come by this war fortress?
As a noble of the first Ruman family, how could the Grand Duke not treat such a noble lady as favorably as possible?
Not to mention, he was still fascinated by people. Even when he was sold, he happily helped count the money. And looking at it now, if he found that a penny was missing, he would still hold the buyer by the neck.
, help people get their money back.
Therefore, when Queen Isabella boarded the war fortress and entered the room, everyone discovered that there were not many resources left for them inside the war fortress.
Archduke Julius was still given the treatment of a camp bed, while the others could only share a blanket and spend the night on the floor.
Although the War Fortress flies smoothly, it is only compared to other means of transportation.
In such a season, and you are still at high altitude, even if you close the doors and windows tightly and keep the fire in the fireplace burning brightly, you can only barely resist the cold winter with just a blanket.
Therefore, after the long and bumpy journey, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally.
The housekeeper of the villa received the news in advance and burned the fireplace in the room, which was extremely warm.
Therefore, as soon as the Grand Duke, who was tired and cold, walked into the door of the villa, he immediately felt a wave of warmth.
Especially when I step on the soft carpet with my feet, I feel tired and can't help but start to doze off.
He waved his hands to the people behind him and said: "Brothers, please leave. Have a good rest today and gather enough energy. Tomorrow at the League of Nations conference, I will show you the dignity of the victor."
Let us take a good look at what the heroic man who killed Hadou looks like~!"
"Yes~!" The generals behind him agreed loudly, then stamped their feet heavily, and then followed the attendants to rest.
"By the way," Archduke Julius stepped towards the stairs. When he reached the middle of the second floor, he suddenly thought of something. He slapped his forehead, then waved to an attendant next to him and said, "Send someone to Almohad."
to the office. Bring a famous doctor and something to treat colds.
Queen Isabella, if you feel better, let me know as soon as possible. Go ahead."
The attendant bowed in response. Then he turned around and disappeared out the door.
The Grand Duke also stretched himself, yawned loudly, and then walked up the stairs. After defeating Hadou, he had fulfilled half of his promise, and he could take a good rest in the room.
Instead of continuing to live in a tent.
As everyone left, the maid Lindy was the only one left in the hall.
She looked around blankly, dumbfounded: Why didn't she care about herself?
She wandered around the hall at a loss for a few minutes, and habitually picked up a rag. She wanted to clean the living room, but she was very uncertain, so she went and wiped it randomly on the table and sofa a few times.
Then he gave up again.
She sat down on the sofa with some frustration. Then she felt an amazing and comfortable elasticity coming from under her body, which made her shake a few times.
"It's so comfortable~!" She almost moaned while sitting on the soft sofa.
You know, there are only a few sofas like this in Hadou's house.
Since those sofas were smuggled in at a high price, they were extremely valuable compared to a southern country guy who only knew how to grow potatoes.
Therefore, only General Hadou could sit there, and a special person was assigned to clean it, so it was far from her turn to intervene. Even if she accidentally bumped into it, she would be scolded.
Although she had secretly sat on it a few times when no one was around, it was obvious that the quality of the sofas coming off the assembly line was far from as good as here.
She turned her eyes slyly and found no one around, so she immediately bumped hard on the sofa a few times again. Then she fell heavily, feeling the comfortable elasticity coming from underneath her body.
At this moment, I saw the guards coming out one by one and walking straight through the hall.
Lindy was shocked and jumped up from the sofa. She put her feet together as a conditioned reflex, lowered her head, and shrunk her neck, waiting for the coming scolding.
She waited for several seconds, but found that the violent storm she had imagined did not come. She was stunned for a moment, then bravely opened one eye slightly and looked at the guard.
The guard seemed to have something to do and was not aware of the series of complicated and intense mental struggles that had just occurred in the little maid's mind.
When he passed Lindy, he just nodded politely and then passed her by.
Lindy couldn't help but opened her mouth: It turns out that you can sit on the sofa here casually, it's okay~!
But then she remembered something and wanted to ask the guard, but she was too nervous and scared to speak.
"Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a matter of saying hello to strangers. You can do it." Lindy thought silently in her heart, mustering up the courage to raise her hand to greet the guard, and said in a low voice: "Hey..."
But I found that the person had already walked out of the hall.
Lindy pouted and cursed herself in her mind: Lindy, you are a big idiot~!
At this time, I heard a melodious and melodious bell ringing in the distance.
"Dang, Dang Dang..."
The slow, elegant, yet loud voice floated leisurely into the hall.
The maple leaf danlin rang the morning bell.
"The sound is so nice..." Lindy bit her finger, leaned on the door frame, poked her head out and murmured, "I really want to go out and take a look... By the way, the Grand Duke said I can go out."
"
The little maid suddenly remembered that Grand Duke Julius had approved her to go out for a walk today. The little maid patted her forehead and said to herself: "Idiot, idiot, big idiot."
The little maid carefully took one foot out and looked around nervously, like a little rabbit looking out of the nest for the first time.
But she didn't know what she was nervous about, she just felt nervous. Of course she didn't understand that it was self-defense in a strange environment.
Lindy, who has never studied psychology, can only attribute this to her natural timidity.
There was no one in the huge manor. Only tall trees stood beside the fence.
Lindy held the hem of her skirt and took careful steps, carefully walked down the steps of the foyer, looked around nervously, then stood on tiptoes and trotted towards the door, looking like a timid little rabbit.
Just when she was about to walk out of the door, someone behind her shouted loudly: "Hey, wait a minute."
Lindy was so frightened that she shrank her neck and thought to herself: "You can't be the one calling me, no matter. No matter."
Then he quickened his pace.
The people behind him also started running, shouting loudly: "That one named Lin or something. Little girl, wait a minute."
"You really called me," Lindy froze on the spot, then turned around to see a tall and strong guard holding a sword with one hand, glaring at her with eyes like copper bells, and taking long strides toward her with murderous intent.
Come over here.
The little maid's face turned pale with fright. She held her hands tightly in front of her chest and stepped back in small steps. She said anxiously: "I...I'm not..."
The guard walked up to Lindy with long strides and leaned down to glare at the little maid with a dark face. His body blocked the sunlight, shrouding the little girl in his own shadow.
The innocent and timid maid was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes, and she whispered: "I just want..."
The guard's dark face suddenly grinned, revealing his big white teeth. He took out a wallet from his arms and waved it in front of the young girl's eyes, saying: "The housekeeper asked me to give it to you. How can a girl go out without taking it with her?"
money."
Lindy was stunned for a moment, waved her hands repeatedly, and said urgently: "Lindy doesn't want it."
The guard grabbed the little maid's hand, put the wallet in Lindy's hand, and said: "This is your wages, and don't let that silly boy show his courtesy."
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and glanced towards the door.
Lindy followed the guard's gaze and saw the little mage who had sent them all the way across the road, waving his arms extremely enthusiastically to greet her.
The guard patted the little maid's shoulder with his big hand, then turned and walked away with a "hehe" smile.
Lindy lowered her head and looked at the wallet in her hand, then looked at the little mage outside the gate, pouted, put the wallet in her arms, and walked out of the gate quickly.
The young mage quickly came forward to greet him.
"Why are you here?" Lindy looked him up and down.
The mage smiled happily and said, "I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me?" Lindy glanced at him warily. Although the little maid was simple, she was not stupid. The cooks told her many times that bad people abducted children, especially magicians with twisted and perverted minds who abducted little girls.
horror story.
The mage bared his teeth and said with a smile: "I heard that the Grand Duke gave you leave and asked you to visit the Maple Leaf Danlin. Since you are not familiar with this place, I will be your guide."
"Wow," Lindy blinked and said in surprise, "Mr. Master, you are such a good person."
The mage grinned stupidly and said: "Let's go, our Maple Leaf Danlin is so big that we can't finish it in one day."
"Okay," the little maid nodded happily, looked at the mage and said, "By the way, Mr. Mage, what is your name?"
"Ivanats, Andrefred," the mage blushed slightly and said shyly, "You can call me Ivan."
The little maid hummed, pointed to herself, and said: "Lindy, just call me Lindy. I don't have a last name."
Mage Yiwen asked doubtfully: "Why is that?"
"I have no parents," Lindy said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Of course I don't have a last name."
Evan glanced at Lindy sympathetically and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to some fun places."
It was just before class in the morning, and students from Maple Leaf Danlin gathered on the road, heading towards the college. The road was full of playful and playful students, chattering as loudly as sparrows.
Lindy looked at the dense crowd curiously, with a look of envy in her eyes, and gently tugged on the mage's sleeve and said, "Where are they going?"
Yi Wen said: "Class, Maple Leaf Danlin has a full schedule of classes every day, and we have to attend classes from morning to night."
"Oh," Lindy glanced at Ivan and said doubtfully, "Then why don't you go?"
Yi Wen puffed up his chest and said proudly: "I have graduated."
"Ah? He's obviously so young..."
Yi Wen had a black line on his forehead and eagerly defended: "I am the annual outstanding graduate of Maple Leaf Danlin Master Academy."
Lindy looked the mage up and down, her expression clearly unbelieving. This little mage looked to be only ten years old. Most of the people wearing robes passing by were young people in their twenties.
Ivan said: "My teacher is a disciple of Dean Lester, the Forbidden Magician. My graduation exam results are all excellent."
"Okay, okay, I believe it," Lindy said with a smile, then pointed to a group of warriors running past and said, "Who are they?"
Ivan glanced at them and said disdainfully: "Those from the military academy are a bunch of warriors whose brains are all about muscles. When you see girls, they are like bulls in heat. You'd better stay away from them."
"Those people's white robes are so beautiful."
"Tch. Holy stick, all the skills of the Pastoral College are in that one mouth. It's as noisy as a duck."
"Which one?"
"..."
Ivan led Lindy around the maple leaf forest for a whole morning. The little maid's eyes were opened. Everything she saw was new and her eyes were always bright. She grabbed the mage Ivan and kept asking questions. He was so tired that he looked like a wolf.
Sticking out tongue like a dog.
"Where else do you want to go in the afternoon?" Master Ivan asked looking at the energetic Lindy.
The little maid looked up at the towering magic tower not far away.
Ivan waved his hands repeatedly and said: "That is a forbidden area. Ever since a little kid sneaked into the magic tower last time, it has been sealed off. There is a large group of people on duty every day."
Lindy had a disappointed look on her face.
Ivan rolled his eyes and said, "How about I take you to see how to build a war fortress?"
Lindy had an expression of surprise on her face and said, "Is it okay? Mr. Master."
Yi Wen patted his chest to confirm and said, "Of course, they are all my acquaintances."
The mage took the little maid straight through the maple leaf forest and walked towards the construction site of the war fortress next to it.
Different from the tranquility and tranquility inside Maple Leaf Danlin College, on the outskirts of the construction site, the neighborhood became chaotic and noisy.
There are neat piles of wood and bricks on the ground, and people wearing work clothes come in and out.
A team of guards in front of the gate checks the documents of everyone entering and exiting.
Ivan went straight to the gate, and the mage guarding the gate greeted him warmly. He just checked in and let the two people in.
"Wow~!" The little maid opened her mouth in surprise at the scene in front of her.
A world completely different from Maple Leaf Danlin appeared in front of me.
A world filled with rolling black clouds and intense heat.
In a wide open area, the war forts under construction are arranged in neat divisions.
Every war fortress is covered with dense scaffolding, and workers cling to it like ants, working intensely.
Their work progress is different. The fastest one has been formed, while the slowest base has just been formed.
But what caught Lindy's attention the most was the huge and ugly crane next to the war fortress.
They made loud roaring noises and spewed out thick plumes of smoke that shot straight into the sky.
The thick black smoke covered the sky like a pot lid, almost completely blocking the sunlight.
The huge machine roared angrily as it stretched out its huge crane arm to lift an obelisk weighing several tons, and then slowly moved it to the base of the war fortress.
"Weird...monster~!" The little maid's eyes widened in surprise.
Ivan laughed and said: "What monster? It's a crane, driven by a steam engine. These things are all products of our mages."
Although Lindy didn't know anything about this, she still felt a huge shock when she saw the cranes lifting things weighing several tons with ease and then assembling them casually like building blocks.
She has no doubt that these huge machines have the powerful ability to move mountains and reclaim seas.
Industrial civilization has a huge impact on agricultural civilization itself, let alone a country bumpkin like her who has never seen much of the world.
For a moment, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide and could only stare blankly at everything in front of me.
After a while, I finally came to my senses.
"The mages are so powerful." Lindy said with admiration, then laughed twice and secretly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
Ivan's vanity was greatly satisfied. He pulled the sleeve of the little maid and said: "I will take you to see it."
Without waiting for Lindy to speak, he pulled her straight towards the war fortress where the 'Magic Energy Conversion Array' was hoisted.
As we approached, the rumbling sound of the steam engine became louder and deafening. A group of people gathered next to the base, looking up at the hoisting operation.
In the middle of the crowd was a woman wearing brightly colored clothes.
Ivan's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "It's Luolina."
Then he waved his arms excitedly and said loudly: "Sister Luolina."
The woman in front glanced back and flirted with Ivan.
Ivan grabbed Lindy's arm and ran over.
Lindy said hesitantly: "Isn't this good? I'll just wait for you here."
"No, no, sister Luolina is very nice." Ivan forced Lindy to run over.
Then he stood in front of the young woman in the middle, raised his hand in a military salute, and said with a smile: "Sister Luolina, you are back."
Lindy peeked over and saw that the woman opposite was in her early twenties, wearing a bright blue robe. She was extremely beautiful, and what was more outstanding was her elegant temperament, with the confidence and calmness of an intellectual woman.
Lindy hid behind Ivan with low self-esteem. Compared with her, she was just a simple-minded and crude servant girl.
