"Are you going with me?" Lind asked.
"My mother asked me to take a look at the magic runes there. She said it would help me learn magic." Alyssa explained with an unhappy look.
"I want to go out and collect some herbs and spices. Besides, I'm the young master's secretary~" Efit put his hands behind his back.
Lind didn't object, thinking that having two more people wouldn't be a big deal.
The three boys and girls walked towards the exit of the camp, and saw the new pig beasts who were already ready to go.
When they saw Lind coming over, all the pig beastmen held their heads high, stood in a square formation, and shouted to Lind in unison: "For the Son of God!"
Chapter 189 Burning Stones
It is around eight or nine in the morning, and as usual, the entire camp has already started the day's work.
For the current camp, rest is a luxury when the work is not done.
However, due to the existence of a reward system and a competition system, the work efficiency in the camp is very high. Whether it is the meat that is within reach or the freedom after accumulating qualification centimeters, it motivates the serfs' enthusiasm for work.
Not everyone in the camp is a serf, the new beastmen are not. These new beastmen are different from serfs, and they are not serving their sentences for crimes. In theory, all new beastmen are free and can leave at any time. And unlike serfs, new beastmen can survive after leaving the camp and going to the primeval forest.
But even so, the work enthusiasm of the new beastmen is still extremely high, even higher than that of many serfs, because of the Son of God.
The representative of them is undoubtedly the group of pig beastmen who have just arrived.
Not counting the new beastmen allies, there are now three cows, a fox, a ferret, thirty wolves, and forty pigs among the new beastmen in the camp. If these are not new beastmen but corresponding livestock, it would also be a huge fortune.
Leaving aside the three cows, the other new beastmen were all rescued from their chaotic state by the Son of God using his divine power, so they are extremely loyal to the Son of God Linde.
At this moment, the unified cries of these forty pigs startled the entire camp.
When everyone who heard the sound looked towards the source of the sound, they immediately showed an expression of "I see". It turned out to be the sound of a pig, so it's not surprising.
As the target of the pigs' cries, Linde's face immediately turned red and he walked quickly towards the herd of pigs.
"Flan!" Linde blushed and angrily questioned the fox girl Fran who was standing in front of the pigs with a playful smile on her face. "What's going on! Did you teach her this!?"
"Yes." Fran admitted it very straightforwardly. Her fox tail was waving excitedly under the tightly wrapped nun's uniform on her buttocks.
"You!" The other party admitted it so straightforwardly that Linde didn't know what to say.
Since this group of pigs has no leader, the original chief has been purified by Lind. In order to facilitate management, Lind asked Fran to temporarily manage them.
In Lind's opinion, as one of the few Chaos Beastmen who has wisdom since she was a Chaos Beastman and has plenty of free time every day, Fran should be very suitable for managing these newly transformed Beastmen.
The result gave Lind a big surprise.
Due to the lack of cloth, the clothes on these pig beastmen were relatively thin, basically just two pieces of cloth. Although thin, the thick fat was enough to keep them warm.
The crude cloth was stretched across the bodies of the pig beastmen, each one more difficult to stretch than Fran.
The issue of clothes also needed to be solved quickly. When Linde thought of the problems that needed to be solved one after another, he felt the blood vessels in his head throbbing.
"Master, listen to my explanation." Noticing Lind's twitching mouth, Fran lowered her voice and explained. "Pig beastmen have a characteristic, that is, they bully the weak and fear the strong. They will bully those who are weaker than themselves, but if they recognize someone as their master, they will be extremely loyal."
"I have confirmed it, young master, you have defeated their original chieftain, and then combined with the devout belief of the new beastmen in the Mother Earth, they will definitely obey your orders."
"As long as it's your order, even if it's to kill them, they won't even frown before dying in front of you. Besides, aren't you curious about whether humans and new beastmen can have children? Now is the chance, you just need to... um!"
"Okay, stop talking." Seeing that Fran's car was speeding up, Lind immediately raised his hand to cover Fran's mouth, telling the female fox to stop talking.
Fran said that Lind had heard similar statements from Benio, the leader of the sheep beastmen who had been in a passionate confrontation with the Fire Pig Tribe for more than ten years before the transformation. The pig beastmen had a special habit of bullying and abusing enemies weaker than themselves, but once they recognized their master, they would be extremely loyal and would not complain even if they were allowed to die.
Now looking at their fiery eyes, Linde felt very awkward. He was clearly in a cooperative relationship with the Earth Mother Goddess, but for the sake of convenience, he gave her the title of Son of God, and it almost became a fait accompli.
And why are the new beastmen around me, the females are all so sexy and allow me to do almost anything I want? If I continue like this, I will make a mistake sooner or later.
Even if you make mistakes, you have to wait until you are an adult!
The team has assembled, and after a brief exchange, the team set off. Their destination is the place where they mined iron ore last time, and also where the building built in the mountain was discovered.
The team included the pig beastmen who served as labor, Fran who was in charge of reconnaissance, and two secretaries.
"By the way." After leaving the camp, Linde asked Alyssa casually. "Alyssa, what is your mother busy with?"
"Burning stones." Elisa replied while sitting on the horse...pig cart.
Linde was stunned.
At the same time, in the camp, in the open space next to the blacksmith shop.
As iron ore has run out, the work in the blacksmith shop has temporarily eased off, and the main task is to repair various iron tools and weapons.
Stanley, the blacksmith, came up with the idea of a new furnace and was happily working on making it according to his own ideas. In order to avoid the original work progress being affected by the design failure, the old furnace in the blacksmith shop was still in normal use.
A temporary tent was set up next to the blacksmith shop, and a simple furnace was placed inside. This was requested by Lady Ilufa to verify Lind's idea.
"Madam, the iron slag, limestone and clay you requested are all here for you. They have all been ground." Soon, several serfs brought over what Ilufa requested.
"Well, pour in the limestone and clay." Ilufa nodded, then directed the serfs to start the experiment.
It is impossible to live in tents in the camp all the time. Wooden houses also have problems such as corrosion and instability, but building with stone is too labor-intensive and time-consuming. Originally, Ilufa just said it casually, but Linde told Ilufa about something called cement.
Grind limestone and clay into powder, then calcine them at high temperature, mix them with iron slag, and finally add sand and water to make a very convenient quick-drying building material.
Although Lind himself said that he could not remember the mixing ratio of the different ingredients and that he just said it casually, Illufa kept it in mind and conducted the experiment himself.
Chapter 190 Return to the old place
Ilfa raised his hand and injected magic power into the heating rune on the furnace, and the entire furnace began to heat up.
Ilfa wants to make this magical building material called cement.
Although this was something Lind said casually, and Lind himself could not clearly explain many details, such as the heating temperature, the ratio of limestone, clay, and iron slag, and the mixing ratio of sand and water after it was made, Ilfa still believed that what Lind said was true.
Not for any other reason, but simply because of Lind's knowledge that far exceeds his age.
Just like Fran and Sal, Ilfa had long realized that the knowledge of the Linde Society was too much, to the point where it could not be explained in a reasonable way.
Even the Son of God could not have mastered so much knowledge at the age of twelve.
Learning knowledge takes time. Even those magicians who believe in strange gods in pursuit of powerful magic cannot accept too much magic knowledge in one go. Too much knowledge will burn out the magician's brain. Even if the knowledge is directly poured into the brain by the gods, it takes time to digest.
From Ilfa's perspective, Lind's knowledge has obviously exceeded the limit of what he should have at his age.
Where did Lind get all this knowledge? Flan and Sal, the beastmen intellectuals, had simple ideas, so the Son of God thought about it. As a saint with much more profound knowledge than the two beastmen shamans, Ilufa certainly would not come up with such an outrageous speculation, but Ilufa could not think of a reasonable explanation.
For this reason, Ilfa prayed to the Goddess of Magic, Mamer, for the first time in fourteen years, but the other party didn't even sneeze.
It was not surprising, after all, they had not been in contact for fourteen years. In order to retire cleanly, after getting married, Ilufa not only gave up her position as a saint, but also stopped praying to God.
I can't think of a suitable explanation for the time being, so I won't think about it for now. When Linde and Alyssa get married in the future, as a mother-in-law, I will definitely be able to pry open my son-in-law's mouth.
Lind was an illegitimate child, his father had not fulfilled his fatherly duties, and his mother had died early from illness. When she thought of the scene of Lind and Elisa getting married, and she, as a mother-in-law, loving her son-in-law, Ilufa couldn't help but reveal an arc of excitement at the corner of her mouth.
Alisa, please work harder! There are so many potential enemies around, and they still don't seem to be able to figure it out. Ilfa is so anxious.
Let’s not talk about the new beastmen. As a woman who has seen and eaten, Illufa can see their intentions. But after all, they are not of the same race. Illufa is not too worried, but Efit…
As someone who has been through this, Ilfa sees it clearly.
Because his daughter was so disappointing, Ilufa could only push her from behind and let Alisa go with Lindyi as if it were a picnic, but Efit also followed...
Forget it, his daughter is the daughter of an earl after all, and she still has some status. Compared with Efit, who was born a commoner, it is a dimensionality reduction attack. There is a saying among the nobles of the Holy Empire that marrying a noble wife means saving several generations of struggle.
Let's get the cement out first. Although Lind himself couldn't explain the specific proportion of cement, Ilufa believed that what Lind said was true. There really was such a material that could solidify in three or four days after adding water and was as hard as rock.
If you know the ingredients but not the proportions, it’s not a big problem. You just need to keep trying and making mistakes.
--------
It takes a whole day to walk from the camp to the iron mine we visited last time. We set out in the morning and arrived around the afternoon.
Unlike the last time, when a few people came carefully, used magic to blast a pile of ore, and then filled a cart to go back, this time Linde brought 40 strong pigs with him, intending to dig a lot.
Just by looking at the size of the pig beastman, you can tell that he is definitely good at physical work.
"Is this the entrance Mom mentioned?" Arriving at the entrance of the cave that was blown up last time, Alyssa looked inside curiously.
"Yes." Lind nodded. "This is the building I told you about."
"Eh~" Alisa dragged out her tone and asked in a tone that sounded as nonchalant as possible. "Is it true that you encountered a skeleton possessed by a demon soul in that building?"
"It's true." Lind nodded with his arms crossed. "The four demons possessed the skeletons. If you smash one, they will possess another one. There are hundreds of skeletons in it. I was almost exhausted to death."
"If the senior hiding inside hadn't come out to rescue you, you wouldn't be able to see me." Linde patted Alyssa's shoulder with a smile.
When her shoulder was tapped, Alyssa immediately distanced herself as if she had been electrocuted, and saw that Linde was a little puzzled. Did she do anything to offend this young lady?
The reason why Alisa reacted so strongly was because she remembered the requirements she had told her mother about when choosing a spouse. At that time, Alisa had asked almost the maximum of the requirements within a reasonable range. It was not too difficult to meet any one of them individually, but adding them all together would be almost impossible.
As soon as she finished speaking, Alisa regretted it because she found that someone almost completely met her requirements.
The reason why I say almost is because it is difficult to defeat the demons. After all, the demons have not appeared for nearly 500 years. Now I tell myself that someone has been fighting with the souls of four demons for a long time and has destroyed their bodies several times...
Now her mother hasn't spoken yet, but Alisa knows that her mother has already decided on Lind, and Alisa also knows that her mother knows that she knows. Both mother and daughter know this very well, so Alisa's feelings towards Lind are very contradictory now.
Linde was confused by Elisa's reaction, but he didn't think much about it. He didn't want to guess what the girl was thinking. Efit also heard the conversation between the two and looked into the cave, wondering what he was thinking.
The last time they mined, Ilufa fired a shot at the rock wall, which resulted in a huge cave. In order to prevent the cave from collapsing and blocking the way to the building inside, Linde deliberately chose another location farther away to mine.
After selecting the mining site, the pig beasts immediately began mining happily. Fran was in charge of supervision, while Linde and two girls stood at the entrance of the cave.
"Want to go in and take a look?" Linde asked Alyssa. "Don't worry, I'll accompany you."
“…Oh.” Alisa hesitated and nodded reluctantly.
Then a loud noise was heard coming from the place where the pig beasts were mining.
Chapter 191 The Son of God's Property
The reason why Alisa came along was that her mother Ilfa asked Alisa to come and see the runes found here, saying that it would be helpful for Alisa's magic learning.
Elisa was somewhat dismissive of this. Her daughter admitted that her mother's idea of designing the heating rune for the blacksmith shop was very novel, but it was just novel and not difficult at all. It was even much simpler than the traditional method of using magic runes. The only thing that required some thought was the magic power conversion rune between different magic runes.
This method of using low-level runes to achieve the functions of high-level runes is not too difficult as long as you switch your thinking. The biggest advantage is that it allows non-magicians to use magic.
But having said that, it would be unreasonable not to go inside, and Alisa was indeed interested in the room made entirely of Sylph Stone. Just as Alisa was about to leave, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction where the pig beastmen were digging.
It's like a landslide.
"What happened!?" After hearing the sound, Lind ran over immediately, stood at the entrance of the cave, and looked far away in the direction where the sound came from.
In order to prevent mining from affecting the caves here, Linde specifically asked the pig beastmen to dig at least one kilometer away. As a result, something went wrong after just a short while of digging.
Hearing this landslide-like sound, Linde's heart sank to the bottom. The bloody mining accidents before the crossing emerged in his mind. Linde would be heartbroken if even one of these sows died.
They are all precious labor!
Almost subconsciously, Linde ran towards the source of the sound, not paying attention to the two girls beside him. Facts have proved that there is still a gap in physical strength between boys and girls, not to mention the difference between the professions of knight and magician.
In a blink of an eye, Linde ran far away. Seeing this, Alyssa jumped up and jumped down from the middle of the mountain.
Of course, Alisa was not tired of living and wanted to die. The moment she jumped down, Alisa instantly used the Feather Fall Technique. The wind wrapped around Alisa's body, greatly slowing down her falling speed, allowing Alisa to jump on the slope like a light goat.
Soon, Linde and Elisa both arrived at the foot of the mountain, almost at the same time. After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Linde remembered that he was not alone, and turned his head quickly, and then saw Elisa and Efit standing behind him one after the other.
Linde blinked in surprise, but soon figured out what Elisa's magic was.
Magic is really convenient.
However, Lind did not realize that it was only Elisa who came down using magic, and Efit did not come down using magic.
Alisa also saw Efit standing behind her and was startled. Alisa looked at Efit in front of her with surprise, wondering how she could do it so quickly.
Efit dusted himself off, clasped his hands at his waist, and looked at Alyssa opposite him with a smile.
Elisa shrugged, didn't think much about it, and continued to run forward with Linde.
Efit smiled and followed the two men as if nothing had happened.
The boy was in front, and the two girls were behind. The three boys and girls were running like playful childhood sweethearts.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the scene. The pig beasts had stopped their work and gathered together, waiting for Lind's arrival.
