Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Different from the consensus reached between Lux and the herb collectors' guild, on Ino's side, the problem of blue ocher mining in Vero Village is far more difficult than Ino expected.

When the mining scale is too small and the mining technology is too primitive, it is a waste of time to introduce technology for professional washing and crushing.

For this blue ocher mine, if you find a water elemental mage or a rock elemental mage, you can complete the washing and crushing work - even if you have the opportunity to steal the master, you can set up a one-stop small workshop based on magic processing, and there will be no problem. big.

However, this is obviously not what Ino wants to see.

Doing this can only solve the livelihood problem of a small number of mages. Knowing the productivity brought by magic, both Lux and Ino have been avoiding the occurrence of "law warriors taking jobs from civilians".

The relationship between Demacian mages and civilians is not very harmonious to begin with. It's okay for everyone to help each other. But once there is obvious competition, and it is a competition where mages have an overwhelming advantage, then it will be troublesome.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Forsbarrow is a good place for starting a new business, if the relationship between civilians and mages is not well balanced, the result of Demacia can only be a civil war that breaks out in minutes. .

The civil war in Noxus next door has not stopped yet. Although I heard that Darius planned a wave of Darkwill and pushed his troops into the heart of Noxus, the outposts were even far away. The Immortal Fortress was visible in the distance, but in the end, the two sides were still in a stalemate on the Drekan line.

The destructive power of the civil war is undoubtedly terrible, which can be seen from the number of envoys staying in Demacia. Even though Demacia has lost face due to the previous mansion murder and prison break, the envoys from various countries in Valoran are still He came over with a stern face, which fully demonstrated the decline of Noxus.

When Lux saw hope for reform, she had to avoid civil war at all costs!

Based on this expectation, Kalya's method is to use the astonishing productivity of the Regulators, starting with public construction, to demonstrate the values ​​and attitudes of the Regulators, and then through reforms, while promoting the improvement of Forsbarrow's production level, It is also necessary to create a position for the legal guardian.

According to Kalja's "cake theory", in Forsbarrow, the newly arrived Lux ​​and the Master cannot grab the cake. They can only join forces with the Forsbarrow people to make a bigger one and take a large portion of it. , it can still guarantee that the remaining small portions will be larger than the original Forsbarrow's.

Only in this way will the Forsbyros be willing to follow Lux, willing to believe in Lux, willing to do and try what Lux says, and willing to truly accept magic.

In order to clarify this point, after Ino returned from Freljord, Lux, Ino and Sona specially held a meeting to explain the relationship between the Archon and the civilians. In order to avoid the appearance of "civilians" Think that the legal guardian has delayed their livelihood".

Based on these considerations, regarding the issue of Weiluo Village, Ino's solution was to have the Dharma Master build an aqueduct, with two earth elemental mages as the maintainers of the canal, and two water elemental mages as washers. The technicians of the mine, together with the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Weiluo Village who cannot go to the mine, jointly studied the specific methods of washing the ore.

The ore crushing is handed over to specialized rock elemental mages, but it is best not to come into contact with the villagers of Vero Village for the time being.

While studying ore washing and crushing, Lux, the "paragon of nobility", also needs to take action personally, bypassing the ore processing plant and going directly to talk to the lord where the pigment processing workshop is located, whether it is to sell a favor or to let him No matter if you give out some of the profits, you have to bypass Saka Town and contact the next family directly.

Although the ore processing plant in Seka Town not only processes blue ocher ore, but without this income, some people will definitely be affected. At that time, Ino will come forward and absorb them to Forsbarrow, allowing them to sing with Vero Village. A confrontational drama - when the time comes, Ino will be able to use the reasons of these "newly arrived Fosbarrow people" to hope to expand Fosbarrow's ore mining!

Unlike Lux, who needs to focus on the overall strategy, Ino has become familiar with this kind of management skills during her three years in Zaun. Although she is also a kind person, her nature is not as good as Lux after all. Bright Sunshine, her skills in these aspects are also very clear. Just walking around Vero Village, she already knew it well.

In this way, after agreeing with Gillam on the issues of washing and crushing the ore, Ino hurried back to Forsbarrow with her manuscript. Regarding her plan, Lux raised an eyebrow, and Sona nodded silently. Kalya completely agreed.

As a result, as the eight mages left the team to form a new mining group, changes in the Forsbarrow blue ocher and other mineral industries were quietly put on the agenda.

……………………

Following Lux's spring speech, the herbal medicine industry and the mining industry began to change, one with great fanfare and the other with silence.

But in Forsbarrow, the hunter industry with the largest number of people and the one that Lux had researched the most before, everything seemed to be the same as in previous years.

No, it can't be said to be exactly the same.

With the development of the red and blue industries and the collection of Freljord trade caravan goods, a silent dissatisfaction began to spread among the Orions.

At the beginning, this dissatisfaction came from the tranquility of the hunter industry.

I heard from the herb collectors' guild that the Royal Master has experimentally found a way to cultivate fragrant red sage, and in Weiluo Village, the miners and the Royal Master also produced the first batch of minerals after washing and crushing. blue ocher material.

In addition, the artificial lake built by the Royal Master last winter perfectly carried the glaciers that would rumble out a river on the ground in previous years. After the melted water from the snow mountains filled 60% of the capacity of the artificial lake, it was connected to the artificial lake. The lake and the temporary channel of the old river channel last year were officially opened to water...

Although it is not yet able to support navigation, the smooth water diversion project still gives the people of Forsbarrow great confidence.

On the issue of water conservancy, everyone is now willing to believe the Lord's words. The people of Forsbarrow are also optimistic about the trial navigation after the river channel reconstruction next year and the official navigation the year after that.

The combination of various factors makes the hunters somewhat unable to sit still. Although there are no very obvious and direct results yet, this situation where everyone is changing and only themselves remain unchanged still makes the hunters a little uncomfortable.

Especially among the hunting families that had hosted Lux ​​last winter, several northern women asked Lux ​​in a normal way if the hunters had any plans. Some even directly said that if there was a way, we would be willing to do so. Grazing instead of hunting.

However, for these questions, Lux’s unified reply was “My understanding of hunters only comes from some families who live in Forsbarrow and have visited them, because hunters are the most common profession in Forsbarrow. "Group, I'll try it on the herb picker first." Anyway, he picked everything.

Due to Lux's consistent image of being close to the people, and the indirect news from the Herb Pickers' Guild, the Forsbarrow Chamber of Commerce and the Miners' Association, this statement has been widely recognized. There is no airtight wall in the world. All the other associations have housekeepers, scribes and mages brought by the lord. Only the Hunter Guild does not have even one new face. The difference here is really obvious.

Soon, the hunters found the Hunters Guild.

The tremendous pressure naturally came to the side of Laliumour, the president of the Hunter Guild, who was called the old hunter by Granny Nadine.

In fact, Laliumure didn't believe that Lux could accomplish anything from the beginning. Even in his opinion, this young lord seemed to be really sunny and really wanted to do good things. But with the behavior of an old hunter, From a perspective, young people of Lux's age need to pay tuition once.

Therefore, according to Laliumure, when Lacus is making drastic changes, it is best not to get involved. Instead, wait until Lacus has suffered a failure and has summarized and reflected on some issues. When working together.

Of course, when thinking about this issue, Laliumure did not deny that he did have a certain desire for power, and he did not want this little girl from the capital to easily and skillfully carve out a large piece of power from his hands. , and I don’t want the Hunter Guild to accept any damn supervision.

We can take care of ourselves!

Therefore, when Lux asked for advice, Lalumul kept watching with cold eyes and was uncooperative.

The result was good, the car overturned before it happened, but the hunters began to be jealous of other people's changes.

Hunters will not think about how difficult it is to switch from hunting to herding. They will only wonder why the Hunter Guild does not have people sent by the lord to help. This makes Laliumure quite embarrassed. At this time, he cannot publicly say "I don't believe it." Lord's abilities" because that would make him even more of a clown.

Just when Laliumur was in a state of distress, he suddenly remembered a saying he had vaguely heard last year. The old hunter did not hesitate to visit General Robles, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army. Through "old friendship", he finally learned from this. The general's words confirmed this statement.

The Third Northern Army Corps retreated.

Because Fosbairo has a new lord, the number of militiamen Fosbairo needs to call has dropped sharply this year, and the number of regular militiamen has almost been eliminated, except for a few who are experienced and have cooperated with the Third Army of the North many times. In addition to the number of young hunters who successfully put on military uniforms, most of the hunters who hoped to eat the royal food were told that after Forsbarrow had a lord, the Third Army would reduce the number of people selected from the militia.

According to General Robles, this news will be postponed in the spring and announced in the summer when hunters are busy, so as to avoid unrest and problems.

Lalumul, who was under tremendous pressure, agreed and leaked the news.

This is good, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Forsbarrow's hunter exploded.

Why should the lord take our place when he comes?

Yes, according to the laws of the kingdom, those who cooperate with the Northern Army should be the private armies of local lords and mobile troops during wartime. Forsbarrow found the militia composed of Orions as guides and scouts. This is a flexible approach based on local conditions. Now that the lord has come, this flexibility should be abolished.

However, from the perspective of hunters, they only know that in the past hundreds of years, as long as outstanding hunters passed the test, they could wear armor, earn military pay, and even become a glorious knight after making meritorious deeds. .

They don't care why this happens, to them it's natural.

Now, the arrival of the lord has destroyed this natural thing!

Although there are only a hundred or so hunters who actually join the Third Army every year, in Forsbarrow, there are at least several thousand people who think that they can join the Third Army. Thousands of people are dissatisfied. It's enough to cause turmoil - these are thousands of depressed young and middle-aged hunters!

Even though many Orions who had received Lux ​​were defending the Lord, dissatisfaction still began to ferment rapidly among the Orions. Cutting off the ascending channel was sometimes like cutting off the financial path, a blood feud.

Laliumure, however, breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although this is a bit unethical, I am fighting for the rights of the boys after all!

……………………

Unfortunately, Lalumuur didn't know that Lux had already anticipated this - or in other words, General Robles's initiative to leak the secret was originally a trap.

If Lalumul keeps secret, Lux will continue to seek cooperation.

But if Lalumul has other ideas...

Then Lux will give him a slap on the head.

So, just when Laliumur thought that he could take the public opinion of the hunters and wait for His Excellency the Earl to appease and delegate power, Earl Laxana and General Robles jointly issued a formal statement.

The Third Army of the North will no longer use militiamen as its main complement in accordance with Demacia's regulations; but for these militiamen, Lux has not given them a place to settle - although you cannot become a regular member of the Third Army, you can come Fosbairo's private army has become a full-time official!

Your Excellency, the Earl, will continue to use the previous assessment method and admit according to the previous quota. Those who pass the test can join the Forsbarrow private army, join the command of Count Laxana, and also fight to defend Forsbarrow!

Although Fosbello's private army is not as loud as the Third Northern Army in name, Count Laxana still has the qualifications to become a knight, and the treatment is favorable!

As this news was released in the form of an official announcement, the attitude of the Forsbarrow Orions instantly became subtle.

Laliumur, who had previously provoked the hunters to join the army, shot himself in the foot. The accumulated dissatisfaction of the hunters soon became Lux's positive influence - in this country, hunters cannot hunt mothers and cubs. In the spring of , Count Laxana generously conducted "militia regularization training" and personally served as the mentor of the militiamen.

Just as Lalumul gained reputation by leading new hunters, Lux also gained her own voice among the hunters.

Laliumure is indeed a wily hunter, but unfortunately, he only hunts animals.

Laliumour, who lives in Forsbarrow, where there are no nobles, does not know that those nobles who are polite and smiling are also skilled hunters, and what they hunt is often humans.

Kalya’s Little Class·About Lao Yao, extras and this volume [Red and Blue]:

The author's waist problem is not serious. It's just that when I picked up the express box the day before yesterday, the express box was too big. I had to move it backwards. As a result, my posture was wrong and my waist was stretched. I felt a little uncomfortable that day. I didn't care about it. I got up yesterday. I couldn't straighten up after that - luckily, the muscles were just a little twisted.

I set a flag before, but it turns out that I overestimated my coding speed. Even if I figured out what to write in this volume, the result is still far from 200,000 this month. I will not default on it. I will update it later. Some free extras. These extras will not occupy the share of daily updates. Most of them are about places and times outside the main line, such as Kalya's past in Shurima, the civil war in Noxus, and Zaun's departure from Rak. "The Days of Silk" and so on, it should be about 50,000 words, but I'm afraid it won't be finished in a month or two.

Also, this volume [Red and Blue] will end at the 500th chapter, and a new volume will start next month!

Finally, I shamelessly ask for a monthly pass, don’t let it expire, it’s a pity!
