Chapter 912： Cold autumn season (1/2)

The night was dark, but the starlight was not visible in the sky, only the haze shrouded the entire city hazyly, making this huge emperor seem illusory.

The weather has cooled down. Although there is still some time before the frost moon, in Aldernan, which is the most susceptible to fog, the fog has fallen on the plains one step in advance. In the past week, five out of ten days have been Foggy-Judging by the climate in previous years, the number of fog falls on the plains will increase in the next half month to a month.

Daniel put on a coat and left his room. He walked through the dark corridor in the mansion and walked to the balcony, looking out over the streets of Aldernan immersed in the mist in the distance.

The bright brilliance of the magic stone street lamp penetrated the mist, and various silhouettes were drawn in the night. There were silhouettes of buildings in the darkness, and there were many windows with lights on. The patrol soldiers holding dogs from nearby Passing through the street, leaving a gradually elongated shadow beside the street lamp.

This is a wealthy area, and the infrastructure and security management are second to none in the whole city. In civilian areas a few blocks away, the number of security soldiers will be less than half, and the street lights are not as bright as here. As for the poor areas ... … That's the same as it was a few years ago, at most there are a few new street lights, and some of them have been destroyed by the local gangster rogue.

Even so, ordinary people living in this city can clearly feel that this place is gradually becoming more prosperous, and this era is becoming more prosperous-those who have the opportunity to go to the Shadow Theater to buy movies "Citizens" who import food and shoes and subscribe to trendy magazines feel this especially.

Daniel built these little by little with his own eyes.

The old mage gently rubbed his fingers, and a layer of near-transparent shield shrouded beside him. In this cold autumn season, he created a small space that was warm and comfortable. He looked up to the southwest and saw In the depths of night and fog, bright lights illuminate, and the faint hustle and bustle comes from that direction.

There is the block where the "Fan There Ang Salon" is located, the far-sighted "upper world" built by the Earl of Van der An expensive, there are casinos, theaters, shops, stock exchanges, and the salon as the core Club-The wealthy people in Aldnam, including the so-called "new citizen class", have now regarded it as their heavenly kingdom on earth in this prosperous era, and they regard some novel, competing financial resources and exquisite lives as Themed social activities as a means to show their decency and indulge in it. From the entrance to the exit of Onsaron Street where the wealthy citizens and small nobles can find a place suitable for their own money, it is incredible.

And just one block away from the bustling lights, it was Aldernan ’s slum area, where the blackness seemed to disappear from the night, and the silhouettes of the buildings that emerged from the darkness occasionally were gloomy like ghosts.

"Where there is an salon" may be regarded as a microcosm of Aldnam's now-expanding "new wealth group", but Daniel is not interested in it and has always prohibited his apprentices from approaching similar places.

"Just a bad imitation."

At night, the old mage muttered to himself, and then took a step back, leaving the balcony that was being blown over and over again by the cold autumn wind.

...

In the morning of the next day, Gao Wen did not go to the government affairs hall as usual or deal with government affairs in his study, but went directly to the Institute of Magic Technology, where Daniel and Rebecca had been waiting in advance.

In a large laboratory, all kinds of devices used to control the rune system are placed on the four walls of the room, and there is only a wide metal platform in the center of the room. There are no complicated experimental instruments on the platform. There is only one set of adjusted crystal projection device. Above the projection device, there is a light blue translucent schematic diagram, which is briefly marked with the outline of the territory of the Cecil Empire.

"Master Ancestor!" After the appearance of Gao Wen, the first to be greeted was the rejoicing Rebecca, "You can count on it!"

"How old are you-do things a little calmer." Gao Wen looked helplessly at this great Zeng who had been active at all times ... The great-granddaughter glanced at it, although she knew it was useless to preach, she couldn't help but remind him .

Compared to when I first saw her five years ago, the slightly miserable "Lady Viscount" has grown up and turned into a girl with at least a mature appearance, but her personality has hardly changed. He seemed worried about this, but Gao Wen felt that this was not a bad thing-anyway, he was likely to chase this stupid deer into a king ...

Rebecca shrunk her neck to cope with it. She did n’t know how much to listen to Gao Wen ’s words. The latter did n’t care much about it. Carmel broke the silence. . "

Gao Wen nodded and came to the metal platform in the middle of the room. His eyes swept over the magic projection floating in the air. In his sight, he could clearly see Cecil City, Shilin City, Marks of cities such as Tamdul, Sorinburg, Saint Sunil, Fort Winter, etc., and there are bright lines connecting between the cities, and the light spots in the dim state can be seen around the lines .

"These light spots are the magic network nodes that have completed the infrastructure construction. The lines are the communication lines currently in use-except for the southern border, the other cities are basically single lines. The triangles next to these hub cities represent the construction. The progress, blue is completed, red is about to be completed ... "

Carmel floated beside the holographic projection, explaining the annotations on the image for Gao Wen, while constantly adjusting the projection device, allowing the screen to switch angles, showing a variety of details.

This made Gao Wen have to sigh the convenience of magic, and quickly focused on the last red triangle of this diagram.

"At present, only the node of Winterbath has not been completed yet ..." he said softly.

Kamal nodded: "Yes, the northern climate is cold, the construction time itself is a month later than other places, and there are more mountains, which is not convenient for construction, so the construction progress is the slowest one. But in Victoria Under the call of the consul, many of the local extraordinarys were directly invested in the first-line construction. The mountainous areas where large construction machinery cannot enter are all constructed by the masters who do not lose the efficiency of the machinery, so all the nodes have reached the construction period. The main hub of the Winter Castle will also be completed within a week. "

"Very good ..." Gao Wen exhaled, and finally felt a relief in his heart. "In this way, the magic net of the entire empire can finally be connected to the Internet and become a real" net "..."

Kamal's buzzing voice inevitably brought a touch of emotion: "It is true, Your Majesty."
