Chapter 112

"I have a dream that everyone on the earth can live a safe and worry-free life, not afraid of the bitter cold, not afraid of the wilderness, not afraid of the dark..."

The so-called scene where the traversers coaxed the natives into a daze did not appear. As Cecil looked around, a group of handsome guys were either trying to scrape the plates clean or whispering among lovers, including Langdon who ate two chopsticks. Taking a glance, seeing that he stopped talking, he immediately continued: "I think it's okay."

Cecil: "..."

Yes, your sister!Even if you are my male god, I still want to hate... Forget it!

Cecil held his breath and said, "Get down to business!" Seeing everyone looking over, he continued, "I don't think supporting God Wars can only be done by lowering prices. This method is too simple. We need to cooperate in groups from multiple angles. First of all, the road needs to be repaired for me. The nearest carriage pick-up is in October, so there is still enough time. No matter what, the road must be repaired. There must be three roads, Yue'ai, Yuehong, and Yuetuo. If the progress is not fast enough, it will be smashed Man, we have money... we have money, right?" The last sentence was addressed to Russell.

Russell looked indifferent: "Enough."

"Very good." Cecil sank his heart, "In addition, the development of paper must be accelerated."

This time, not only Russell, but even Langdon came to his senses and said, "Are you going to write a book?"

"Yes." Cecil said firmly, "Not only do I want to make books, but I also want to do woodblock printing and movable type printing. I think that after these two technologies are developed, not only the power of the paper god will increase, but the book god , Printing God is also possible."

"There is a Book God," Langdon said. "The God of Knowledge and the Book God are both powerful gods."

Cecil has also considered this aspect: "It's different. Movable type printing and engraving printing are advanced technologies. The objects of these two technologies are paper, and leather can't be used. This should produce a new god, right?"

This question was not answered immediately, and the crowd exchanged a few looks with each other.

"This...is a little troublesome." Langdon said tactfully, "I don't mean the problem of the gods. Yours is a bit like the relationship between the god of tanning leather and Moose. The birth of new gods is not a problem, but, the book god It is not such a stupid and upright god as Moose. It has existed for a long time. Although it is a neutral god, you can imagine how huge the number of believers is. What's more, it has a very good relationship with the god of knowledge. Once we threaten him status, it is very likely to face a blow from a main god or a god close to the main god level, which is not what the Knights are looking forward to."

Cecil pondered for a moment, thinking that this was true, but printing was inevitable, and there was no way around it anyway.

He asked: "I have a question, since there is a god of knowledge, is there also a god of wisdom?"

"Wisdom is not civilization. Wisdom is a natural characteristic of human beings. It is different. Knowledge is summarized and transmitted by human beings. It is a kind of human civilization activity, so there is no god of wisdom." face chance.

"Then, if two...cough, what about the God of Knowledge in my hometown and the God of Knowledge here? For example, I invented printing, popularized books, and made more people learn more knowledge. Is it something that is very beneficial to the God of Knowledge? Then, will the God of Knowledge in my hometown appear here? Or, my technology actually provides faith for the God of Knowledge here?"

There was a subtle silence, and everyone looked at each other for a moment.

"I think there should be a new god." Oakes said this with some hesitation.

"Not necessarily, maybe the old gods will benefit." Russell was also not sure.

"It's hard to be sure about this situation. Who knows what will happen to the gods?" Moye said lazily.

"It is difficult for ordinary people to predict the affairs of the gods. Everything we know so far was discovered intentionally or unintentionally by those magicians. Every discovery has paid a huge price." Langdon said gently, "There are many things We can only do our best.”

Cecil sighed, and said, "In any case, printing will strongly promote the dissemination of knowledge. This is also a benefit that cannot be ignored, isn't it?"

This place is different from the earth. There is a language gap on the earth. Here, interpreting magic eliminates the biggest difficulty in knowledge dissemination. The ignorance of the people is largely due to the harshness of natural laws on non-magic nation building, making most Human energy has to be spent on struggling to make a living, and magicians who have successfully escaped the low-level needs of survival are not interested in spreading the knowledge of ordinary people. After all, it is of no benefit to magicians.

Langdon thoughtfully: "You mean, the gods also have their own interests?"

Cecil said with some interest: "Should I inflict huge losses on my believers, or help my good friend destroy a new god? I think the God of Tanning has given us a hint."

If it's not beneficial to me, I won't do it. The God of Tanning didn't even come to remind me, which shows that his nature is cold, and the cross-border warning of the Paper God proves that the gods also value the relationship of interests.

"Let me remind you that the loss of the God of Knowledge is very, very large. Think about it, people in the whole world have the opportunity to obtain knowledge, and it is a continuous and unparalleled amount of knowledge. Anyway, the current What does it matter if the book god dies and he will get a new book god?" Cecil paused, "Actually, the current book god may not necessarily die. When paper books become popular, museums, collectors, etc. I still like books made of special materials, and those will be treasures at that time, and from a certain point of view, the value of Book God has even increased now!"

This fallacy drew another subtle silence.

"Yeah, friends will have new friends after they die. I think the great god of civilization won't mind these small changes." Russell first said in an overly cheerful tone, "Gods can't escape annihilation for a moment. .”

"I agree." Oakes said calmly, "We just did some small work, which is insignificant."

"Agreed." Cecil was puzzled by O'Casey's reaction, "There is no true god other than my lord, and the change of gods of civilization has its own laws. Mortals don't need to pay too much attention to it, as long as they work hard faithfully."

In this case, he still insists that Garris is the only true god. Cecil really can't understand O'Casey's schizophrenic three views. However, this is probably the reason why O'Casey can still obtain the status of a paladin after he broke the foundation. Bar.

Langdon smiled and said: "I believe dear Cecil, you are more and more able to grasp the overall situation and understand the truth. I hope you can continue to work hard and let those... who are complacent and arrogant get a taste of the bitter fruit."

Moyer picked up the wooden bowl of fish soup and drank it clean, burped and said: "Let me summarize, because the performance of the four-wheeled carriage you invented is not as good as the magic four-wheeled carriage. For the upcoming battle of gods, you want to The way to support it is to invent a new type of paper book, attract the god of knowledge or create a new god of knowledge, so as to kill this generation of book gods, right?"

For the third time there was silence in the room, including Cecil.

"How can it be called a matter of the gods?" When it comes to thick-skinned, Cecil will not lose, "We are just doing small things, and we are simply pursuing a better life!"

A group of people agreed.

"No, you are mistaken. I appreciate your viciousness and shamelessness." Moyer continued, "I just don't understand the connection between the two. What good does this have for the battle of the chariot god?"

"Yes." This question scratched Cecil's itch, and he said enthusiastically, "What is the carriage used for? I am willing to bow down to carrying people. I guess I can't invent a car that can compare with the magic four-wheeled carriage. So, let's think about it from another angle, that is, another function of the carriage is to pull goods. Now it is too late to improve the carriage, time and technology are too late, but we can find a way to 'improve' the goods, Some special and unique goods are only allowed to be carried by ordinary carriages. Oh, in the future, ordinary carriages on our cement roads will be free to pass... No, let’s reduce the fee. What do you think?"

"Great, dear Cecil." Langdon immediately showed a gentle smile, "Your consideration is getting more and more comprehensive."

A group of people made a voice of agreement.

Moye stretched out his evil hand to the remaining tofu and muttered: "Your kindness is the standard of purgatory, right?"

The ruthless attack on a god based on interests occurred in a shabby house. Cecil felt inexplicably awkward, so he had to convince himself that it was for the benefit of more people. However, in the dead of night, he would inevitably think: destined to What should the god of civilization abandoned by the times do?

Moosei committed suicide, and Cecil made troubles without any psychological burden, but what if the book god here is a god with a good temper and a good personality?

Think about the old man of the Great Wall, the boy of Dongfeng Express, or the death of the paper gods and disappearing into the world. It is really difficult for Cecil not to be sad, but how many technological inventions have been abandoned in human history, and how many civilizations have been promoted by himself? The changes are simply too numerous to count.

Alas, I don't want to anymore, the more I think about it, the more annoying I get.

Falling asleep with such thoughts is destined to have bad dreams. Cecil had a nightmare all night, dreaming of running in the dark, and from time to time, a piece of wood protruded from an invisible angle and hit the back of the head violently, causing pain. He woke up with a start.

The next day, during Gray's founding ceremony, Cecil's face was paralyzed and his eyes were dull, with thick dark circles under his eyes.

"Good day, Commander Cecil."

Gray is dressed up today, wearing a blue robe with stiff shoulders and broad shoulders, and a wide gold embroidered belt, which looks like a large rice dumpling.He walked over excitedly and hugged Cecil. This action did not violate the etiquette of the Gay Knights, and it was even a gesture of intimacy, so Cecil had no way of objecting. The problem was that he only had sex with Cecil. It's hard not to think about Searle doing this.

The leaders of the Gay Knights had long been notified that Serling would rebuild the new city, and they all said that the important social task of "attending the groundbreaking ceremony" was handed over to Cecil. Therefore, only Langdon showed tolerance and tenderness at the scene. He looked at Cecil and Gray hugging each other for a long time with a smile.

Cecil always felt something was wrong with Langdon's smile...

Gray never gave up, and Cecil didn't dare to ask, so the two could only pretend that nothing happened.He never understood why Gray was so persistent. He really wanted Wang Qi. He believed that the temple would always find someone who looked like him—in fact, the temple had actually asked if it wanted to send such a person, but Lan Deng inexplicably refused—why did he have to stare at him?

"Because you were so kind to him." Russell heard about Cecil's troubles and said so at a leadership meeting dinner. "Of course he felt that you actually had some kind of affection for him."

"I didn't treat him well." Cecil said inexplicably, "I haven't spoken a few words to him, okay! Langdon, don't get me wrong!"

Langdon, who was present at the time, was looking at the parchment, and raised his head with a bewildered expression upon hearing this.

"Not only did you take in the Serin people for free, but the brick kiln was originally intended to be used by them for free!" Russell said bluntly, "If this isn't called love, I don't know what else to call it."

Cecil said angrily: "That's because the people of Serling repaired the road for me for free, and the seafood at the expo didn't take money and share in the end. This is a matter of mutual benefit!"

"They would have become savages." Russell said softly, "It is the greatest kindness to save them from such a miserable fate."

Cecil sighed, and then reacted again: "Even so, why did Gray repay me by making me a king knight? What kind of reward is this! Thank you and give me free work!"

"Because outsiders think that the greatest honor in a gay knight's life is to become a king knight." At this point, Russell also realized where the trouble was, cleared his throat and slipped away.

Langdon looked up again after finishing the work at hand, and received Cecil's resentful eyes.

"The seniors of the Gay Knights are too boring, can't they do something constructive? Can't we not spread rumors!"

Langdon: ? ? ?

At this time, faced with Gray's precious explanation, Cecil had to thank the senior who set up a "fearless face" for saving him the trouble of modifying his expression.

The site of the new city of the Serlings is eight days away from the coast. This is the estimated time after the road is repaired. Cecil originally hoped that the Serlings would choose between Moon City and Toto Port, but the Serlings still prefer to be closer to the coast.Of course they want to choose a port city, but the brick kilns are located in Yuecheng after all, and the transportation of wall bricks during the construction of the wall must be considered. Without rammed earth roads and four-wheeled carriages, this would be impossible. After all, there is no road between Yuecheng and Xincheng. It takes at least 20 days to hike, but now, it only takes more than ten days.

After the completion of this new city, a new city will be built on the nearest coast. This is the port of the Serin people. It is worth mentioning that this place is only four days away from Toto Port even if there is no road on foot. close.The reason why no one builds a nation here is that there are sea monsters here, yes, it is the sea monster that Cecil imagined. Before the founding of the nation, the civilization god of the Sirin people must clean up the environment, gay knight The group is very enthusiastic and said that it can help.

It is said that Toto Port did not welcome this move. However, given that they have not occupied this land for many years-the main reason is that the benefits are not as good as the cost-in the end, Toto Port maintained a polite silence.

Mrs. Xiangqi paid a special visit to King Gray, and the two sides had a frank and friendly exchange. Cecil was forced to accompany him. After listening to the polite manners for an hour, he felt that it was a kind of torture.

The location of the port is not randomly designated. Gray has been working on it for a while recently, and visited many places with the god of civilization. The seaport city must have a certain depth of water, and it is best to have a beach at the same time, which is very embarrassing geographically. To be able to find it so close to Moon City is like a blessing from heaven.

Cecil stood in the VIP position in the front row, watching Gray dressed in a grand costume, making a long and smelly declaration full of incomprehensible metaphors to the ministers, and felt again: this is fucking torture Bar!

If it wasn’t for Gray’s demands—Russell said that you should use the Serlings wherever you want, and the future of the Serlings is given by us, so it’s too embarrassing for the gay knights to be so timid—Sisi I'm not coming, there is Langdon anyway!

All Cecil wanted was fish.

With the official end of the rainy season, Ebo’s reservoir has successfully completed its first-year mission. If the sparkling water surface had not been known in advance, no one would have guessed that it was an artificial lake.After a period of observation, it was confirmed that the waterproof measures had taken effect, and Cecil felt that it was time for the reservoir to function.

Top priority: fish farming.

Cecil also ran all over the area around Moon City, but he didn't find any waters with fish, not even in the rivers where the red soil was mined. Obviously, the fish in the sea cannot be raised in fresh water, so they had to find another way.He first went to Toto Port. The fishery company in Toto Port said that sea fish are easy to get, but freshwater fish are still alive. It is basically impossible. The transportation distance is too long. Quotes are not reported.In desperation, he had no choice but to turn to Gray. One of Serin's gods of civilization, Tyler, the god of sea hunting, said that he could consult with his friend Percy, the god of lake hunting, to see where he could get freshwater fish.

After the stinky and lengthy foundation stone laying ceremony, the first brick of the city wall was placed at the predetermined location. How the city is built is a matter for the Serin people themselves, and the Gay Knights have no interest in worrying about it.

Gray walked up to Cecil with an excited expression, and said loudly: "Cecil Knight Commander, let's go to the water storage lake! Percy said there is news!"

Of course gods can ignore short distances, but humans can't. Ever since Cecil came here, the griffin business in Port Toto has been making a lot of money. This time, the Serin people rented a hundred griffins at once when they built the city. , exclusively for VIPs. More than an hour later, Cecil was standing by the artificial lake in Ebo, wondering if he should also build a Griffin Trading Company site in Moon City. This has no business conflicts, so For his short lifespan as a human being, it is basically impossible to see the birth of an airplane in his lifetime.

Cecil and Gray stood by the lake, and the others followed at a distance, taking inexplicable walks around the lake.

"Cecil Knight Commander, do you really not consider becoming my royal cavalry?" Gray said suddenly, and he didn't know how long he held back.

Cecil sighed: "It's not that I don't want to be your royal cavalry, but I don't want to be anyone's royal cavalry."

"Because you like His Royal Highness Langdon?" Gray said after being silent for a second.

My name is Cecil, and I'm a little flustered now... What a panic!

"Who did you listen to?" Cecil tried to fool the past.

"That's what everyone says." Gray said, "Knight commanders, especially that couple."

"..." I can't seem to beat Russell and Oakes, Cecil thought.

"However, I don't need them to tell me." Gray said with a self-deprecating tone, "You look at His Highness Langdon the same way he looks at his father."

Of course Cecil knew who this "he" was referring to, and he was even more afraid to say anything.

"I wish someone could see me that way," Gray sighed.

Cecil couldn't help it: "So, would you see him like that?"

"what?"

"Would you think of your royal cavalry like that? I mean, if there is any." Cecil said.

Gray showed a puzzled look: "But, that's Wang Qi, the biggest dream is to dedicate everything to a king, isn't it?"

Cecil rolled his eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end he said something else: "Your Majesty Gray, I am a human being. Although I have no expression, I am a living person. I have feelings. Do you understand? Now, what on earth are you going to tell me, I'll leave if nothing happens!"

"Ah... oh." Gray took a while to react, "Uh...Taylor told me to wait here at this time."

As soon as the words fell, a storm suddenly appeared in the sky, and the dark clouds swirled like a funnel. Afterwards, crackling "rain" fell, but the range was limited to the artificial lake.

Cecil quietly raised his head to look, and found that what fell was not water, but countless lively fish, and three gods appeared in the sky at the same time.

Cecil approached Gray and whispered, "Who is the other god?"

Gray seemed surprised by Cecil's boldness. He looked up secretly and said, "The God of Magic."

Cecil quickly raised his head to see the appearance of this enemy of fate, but the "rain of fish" just stopped at this moment, the clouds dispersed, and the three gods disappeared.

Cecil absent-mindedly bid farewell to Gray, who was also absent-minded, and asked Langdon's location with a parchment, and rushed towards Langdon. Upon meeting, he said, "I have seen the God of Magic!"

Langdon said calmly, "I heard about it."

"Will he find anything?" Cecil felt anxious, "Could it be that he came here to spy on us?"

Langdon laughed. "If so, why don't you do nothing?"

Cecil also thought about it, and whispered: "I always feel that the gods are not as omnipotent as I imagined."

"In fact, the gods' interference with living things is really lower than expected. Many magicians are also very puzzled by this, but they have not researched the reason. Generally speaking, people guess that there is something similar to the law of nature that imprisons the gods. You guys, otherwise, the God of Civilization does have the ability to destroy other civilizations by himself, and he can do whatever he wants." Langdon explained, "Besides, as ordinary people, we have no choice. By the way, some wild people have come to join us. We are."

Cecil was refreshed: "Good thing!"

"Yeah." Langdon showed that meaningful smile again, "How should I put it, these savages are... special."

Regarding the chickpeas, I also found it strange when I checked the information, but it said that the chickpeas have a lot of starch content. I think that stuff may not be tofu, but more likely something similar to pudding, but there are quite a few in the recipe People have made it without using brine or plaster...
