Lord of Industrialization

"You two noticed while reading that you forgot there was something cooking in the pot?!"

In front of the kitchen door on the first floor, Jin Li looked as angry as a furious bear, and her red hair was like a ball of flame, seeming to burn everything around her.

Heli, who was in charge of cooking, and Lu Li, who was helping, looked like frightened quails, standing there with their heads lowered, not daring to express their anger.

In the living room on the second floor, Frederick was flipping through a book on the sofa. He had just deliberately said that it was not a big deal, but Jin Li glared back at him.

This was an internal matter of the Aurora warriors, and it was not easy for Frederick to interfere.

He heard Hua Qiulei say that there was a strong sense of hierarchy among them. If the positions in the church were at the same level, those who graduated in the previous year could strictly educate the younger ones, and those who graduated with good grades in the same year could educate those with poor grades.

Frederick knew that Psyche was working and writing books, but he had never read it, so he looked through the book "Detective Holmes and the Bloody Footprints" to see what it was about, and actually ruined a pot of radish stewed with seals.

The story begins when a team of night watchmen were patrolling Weissenburg City one night when they heard a scream coming from an alley and discovered that a young man had been murdered. The murderer escaped without a trace.

The police station did not find many clues when investigating the scene and thought it was an ordinary robbery and murder case. However, the protagonist, senior detective Holmes, had a different view. From the wounds, he deduced that the murderer was a professional. Through the blood on the ground, there was no clue. The most eye-catching clue was a half bloody footprint on the roof of the nearby house.

Then Holmes led the police to the deceased's home and found a note in the deceased's diary, which recorded a set of dates and corresponding strange numbers.

He soon discovered a huge conspiracy while investigating the strange number, which led to the murderer's assassination.

After reading ten lines at a glance, Frederick was sure that this book was the world's first mystery novel. He was also sure that Psyche's purpose in publishing this book was to sell soy sauce, because the protagonist ate stew every time. They all asked for soy sauce.

After being scolded, Heli quickly made lunch again. This time it was relatively simple. Noodles mixed with red tomato, mushroom, and fish meat sauce. There was a lot of ginger powder in the meat sauce to make it a bit spicy. There were also fish heads, fish tails, fish bones and mushrooms. Boiled soup.

At the dinner table, Jin Li asked Frederick: "Sir, what are your requirements in life?"

Frederick shook his head slightly and said, "I don't have any requirements, but I'm not used to the work and rest time here yet, so I'd better follow the schedule I have in the south."

Now there are only four hours a night here, and people only have five hours of rest a day in order to grab time. Frederick can't stand it.

Heli asked: "Sir, we don't have soy sauce here. Can the stew be made according to our traditional method?"

Frederick smiled and said: "No problem, just follow your habits."

After lunch, the four of them were reading in the living room. No one was talking quietly. Frederick wanted to chat with Jin Li and the others, but it was fine given the atmosphere.

Time passed little by little, and the only sound in the room was the turning of pages, and from time to time the girl's breathing increased when she saw the tense parts.

The alarm clock in the living room broke the afternoon tranquility. Holly reluctantly put down the book and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare the second meal.

There are a lot of sea fish here, so Heli made a meal of cod stewed with mushrooms, which was quite delicious.

During the meal, Frederick asked: "What is the first priest busy with recently?"

His question was very rude. It was inappropriate to ask anyone about the top leader's movements rashly, but he had to finish the business first before he came over.

Jin Li and Heli said they didn't know. They were waiting for Frederick to come over and didn't pay attention to his daily actions.

At this time Lu Li said: "I heard from the church driver that the first sacrifice went to the village in the south, and the Elizabeth potatoes there are ready to be harvested."

Frederick thought to himself that it was like this. In the past, potatoes could not be grown in the north due to the short summer time. Later, varieties with short growth cycles were bred, so he asked Valkyrie to send them over to see if they could be grown.

He said to Jin Li: "Please help me inform you. I also want to see the harvest situation."

Jin Li agreed and asked Lu Li to drive her to the southern village to report.

Now Frederick and Hurley were the only two people left in the room. Hurley went to wash the dishes and make buns and noodles for tomorrow. After Frederick took a bath, he went back to the bedroom, got into the bed and turned on the light to continue reading.

Frederick was reading a travel diary written by a local Aurora warrior. She had been helping to defend against wild beasts and practicing medicine among the tribes in the north for many years. She had been to many places and had also met Psyche and Richard Nall who were traveling in the north. et al.

He read quickly, looking for words related to minerals between the lines.

Now the largest iron ore area has been discovered in the Dark Land in the south, located in the area where the northern part of the Sverier Kingdom meets the Sami Alliance.

King Kosdorf of the Kingdom of Sverriers has been sending pirates across the sea to plunder southward. Frederick felt that sooner or later he would fight with him and could not put his eggs in the same basket, so he looked for new sources of iron ore in the Sami Alliance. .

One place in the book caught Frederick's attention. There was a forest where it was easy to get lost and the compass would fail there.

This shows that there is considerable iron ore in this place, which interferes with the magnetic field.

There was a sound of opening and locking the door outside the box bed. After a while, the door of the box bed also opened, and Heli got in wearing a white cotton nightgown and holding a book.

"It's so warm here," Hurley said. "I come here to read."

The weather is quite cool here in July now, with the highest temperature only being 20 degrees Weihrsel, and it can drop below 10 degrees Weihrsel in short nights.

Frederick moved to let the girl in.

This box bed is not small, big enough for several people to fit in, and there is a carbon stove under the bed for heating in winter.

Hurley sat down directly next to Frederick, leaning on the wooden board at the head of the bed, her face slightly red, and she concentrated on reading.

After a while, she asked Frederick: "Is it really possible to grow vegetables in a glass house?"

"Okay." Frederick nodded, "Now Valkyrie and the others are learning how to build a greenhouse, and they will come back next year to teach everyone."

Heli whispered to him: "Is it okay not to let Val Qiulei come back?"

Frederick asked doubtfully: "Why?"

"She is very fierce!" Heli looked like she was saying something very scary. "You saw Jin Li scolding me just now. When she scolded Jin Li, Jin Li was more scared than I was just now."

Frederick scratched his head and said, "I haven't seen her that scary."

Heli shook her head and said, "She certainly wouldn't dare to be cruel in front of you."

Frederick thought about it. He was a famous prince after all, and she didn't dare to hurt him.

"Let me ask you something." Frederick asked, "Do you know where the grouse forest is?"

Heli replied: "I know, it's very far from here. It's probably a thousand kilometers away by foot. You don't have to walk that far by boat first. It's about two hundred kilometers away."

Frederick nodded and asked again: "Can't the compass be used there?"

Hurley replied: "That's right, the only way to find direction there is by which way the moss grows on the rocks and tree trunks."

Frederick thought about whether he should go there and see if there was really iron ore.

The box bed became quiet again, except for the sound of turning books.

"It turns out he is the murderer?!" Heli exclaimed when she saw the last scene.

Frederick smiled and said: "I didn't expect that."

"Yes." Heli nodded, "I really didn't expect that the murderers were actually the night watchmen who reported the crime. They were discovered poisoning the water tower and killed the young man."

Frederick added: "Actually, there are clues ahead."

"Really?" Heli planned to watch it a second time.

Frederick nodded and said, "Really, you will know after reading it again."

He saw that the time was not too early for his biological clock. He should go to see the first priest tomorrow and it was time to go to bed.

So Frederick said to Hurley: "I'm going to bed first. Remember to turn off the lights when you leave."

After he finished speaking, he moved his position, patted the pillow, pulled the quilt and fell asleep.
