Chapter 298: Attraction (1/2)
Santisi responded for a while before he wanted to understand what the other party’s “friends like you” meant.
He looked at Carmel's eyes (probably the position of the eyes): "You mean a civilian origin, not controlled by the traditional mage circle or the aristocratic family, can freely join the Cecil collar, and have a certain knowledge base of the mage? ?"
Kamal nodded slightly: "There is still not enough scholars on the territory - although we recruited a group of fallen scholars and mages from nearby territories, it is not enough, the quality and quantity are not enough. I used to talk to Jenny. Yes, I know that her origin is somewhat...special, so she has no connections in Wangdu, but you are different. Mr. Santis, although you are a civilian, at least... you are a legitimate, accepted The caster of a complete education."
An orthodox monarch, even the most miserable one, is essentially different from Jenny, who was born from slavery. The “class” of Santis is destined to have his own social circle of wizards. There are other casters who can talk on an equal footing.
If Jenny can only be held in the Master Tower and other slaves for limited exchanges, then Santis is at least free.
"I... I really know some Masters of the Kings," Santis hesitated and said. "But those who can interact with me are basically mixed and unsatisfied, because of various reasons. The mainstream mage circle is crowded..."
"That may be in line with my requirements and meet the requirements of the lord," said Carmel. "You are teaching the rune logic and the basic course of magic, you should understand that this land is developing a brand new Magic technology route, in the face of this special field, the traditional Master level does not make much sense. What we really value is the researcher's ability to explore unknown attitudes, accept new things, and the most basic mathematical and logical talents. I miss you. There should be no shortage of such friends."
Santisi thought for a moment and slowly nodded: "I can give it a try."
"Very good. But I also want to add one more sentence - many times 'rejected by the mainstream field' is not the same as 'having a unique talent.' In most cases, the next person is excluded by the social circle just because he is really stupid. But this kind of person will always use the "my talent can understand" to anesthetize myself. I don't want my blunt words to hurt your feelings - but I don't want to bring trouble to the lord. I have seen Too many self-excellent people, they are always difficult to entangle."
Santis couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't seem to be angry at all: "Of course, you are right. I have seen many people like this. In Wangdu, the lonely wizards will always end up." In the big and small circles, just like the upper class aristocrats hold a party, in this 'underlying secret law society', there are often many people who complain about their talents, but only one and a half of them are really unrecognizable. More than half of them are really nothing. I have been in this circle for many years and will naturally identify them."
"That's good," Camille said, "Let's go find the lord - this kind of thing should be known to the lord."
Gao Wen stood in front of the map of Cecil and its surrounding areas, watching the undulating mountains, plains, and forest lines fall into contemplation.
This map was hand-painted by him. It restores all the details of the satellite view as much as possible while ensuring intuitive and easy-to-understand, and also marks the various mineral resources found along the way of the pioneering army seven hundred years ago. He still remembers what happened when he was immersed in the study in the study room - Herti was shocked and couldn't add any more. Amber said that the old man must have prepared the map in advance before pretending to draw a map scary, Rebecca because He agreed to be amber's point of view and was knocked on by Herti – but with the increasing number of new things that Gao Wen has tossed, he himself is the most unreasonable “resurrection of death”, this incredible map. The impact is gradually faded.
Gao Wen believes that as the drawing techniques he has written are taught, everyone will be less surprised by this high-precision satellite image (hand-painted version).
Amber stood beside him, and squinted at him to look at the map, but she didn't know what Gao Wen was looking at. After a long while, she finally couldn't help it: "Hey, what do you think of Gaowen?" ?"
Gao Wen raised his hand and clicked somewhere above the map: "This is Kant."
Then his hand moved down and circled a large area: "This is the northern wasteland, then the North Shore development area, the White River, the Cecil collar... the mine town is here, this side is the western lumberyard and The newly established 'Shuanglin Village'... Finally, there are two southeast and southwestern places to prepare for the opening of the next spring. The current force of Cecil is this one."
Amber squinted at Gao Wen: "Kant collar has been drawn in by you!"
Gao Wen did not take care of amber, but continued as if he said to himself: "The current population of Cecil's main city is 15,000, including a large number of artisans and residents who migrated from Kant after the winter. And the serfs and the last group of people who bought from Leslie and other places. But because of the imperfect administrative construction, the population statistics before the winter was not completed, and it is impossible to tell how many people there can be... ”
Gao Wen does not know how many people in a medieval prince or the count of the earth on the earth, but he knows that in this world, because the human body itself is strong, there are things like abundance of magic and druid spells to ensure The basic output of food, so although the people at the bottom of the country live a very poor and difficult life, their population is quite large, even in this long-lost South, there is a large population scattered in this land.
However, these people are not yet considered to be the people of Cecil, even if they have become the leader of the satellite town of Cecil, they are still independent.
Amber squinted at Gao Wen’s face and seriously analyzed the territory. After listening for a long time, he didn’t understand what the man was saying: “So? Do you think the population is not enough? I told you Hey, the city of 10,000 people is quite scary! You..."
Gao Wen suddenly interrupted the amber words: "Do you think that this place is still too small?"
Amber reacted for two seconds, and the ears slowly rose up: "...you finally decided to hit someone! You think about it, if you really want to recover the land, the whole south can be..."
"I don't have this plan for the time being," Gao Wen glanced at the half-elf. "I feel that the current strategy is too small, and the potential population is not enough..."
Amber's face is foggy: "Strategic depth? What?"
