She has been back in the capital for a few days. If she hadn't been hiding her figure, she might have been captured by now. She listened to the information gathered by Jones in the past few days. she.
That's fine, she understands that it's the means of several princes, after all, she still has some uses, but in the past few days, a rumor has spread in the capital, that is, the eldest prince may inherit the throne, or the king will abdicate.
Princess Lucy didn't believe it. She knew her father and king, and would not abdicate the throne so easily, let alone such a simple advertisement.
It was this that made Lucy feel that something had happened to the palace, but Jones hadn't found any good information in the past few days, especially because the guards in the palace were so strict that Jones couldn't get close.
"Your Highness Lucy, tell me about Sheba City again." Yuffie's pink eyes were full of anticipation, which was also a way to change the subject.
"Well, talking about noodles last night..." Lucy raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously not interested.
She had medicine brought from Sheba City in her hand, and she wanted to give it to her father right away, but she couldn't see her father, the entire king was occupied by the eldest prince's people, and even the second prince left.
"Boom bang bang..."
There was a knock on the door, and Princess Lucy immediately turned her head to look.
"Come in." Yuffie said crisply.
"Gag..."
The door was pushed open, and Jones walked in with a heavy face and strange red eyes.
"Jones, how is it? Is there any news about the father?"
Seeing the appearance of Bao Er Niang, Lucy's heart skipped a beat, she quickly stood up, walked to Bao Er Niang in two steps, and held her hand tightly with both hands.
"Lucy..." Jones opened her mouth and said shyly, "His Royal Highness, you have...gone."
"What?" Princess Lucy froze, her golden eyes looked at Leopard-Er Niang in disbelief, and trembled, "Gone? What does it mean to go?"
"Sorry, Lucy," sighed Jones.
"No, how is this possible? Those witch doctors said that the father can live for more than half a year. This is impossible, impossible..." Princess Lucy was very emotional, her golden eyes were full of mist, and two lines of tears kept streaming down.
"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
"Why? Father, I brought the medicine back, why don't you wait..." Lucy choked up and cried, looking sad like a little girl who lost her lollipop, losing the most important thing in her heart.
Jones pursed her lips, hugged Lucy into her arms, and patted her on the back, her red eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"The king actually..." Yuffie was stunned, the news was a bit big.
Looking at Princess Lucy, who was lying in Jones' arms, she sighed helplessly, and muttered to herself, "His Royal Highness has lost her final protection. No wonder these days... it's a little troublesome now."
"Woooooooo..."
Princess Lucy suppressed crying, cried for half an hour, and fell asleep in Jones' arms.
"Huh..." Jones breathed a sigh of relief and put Lucy on the bed. This time the situation is very troublesome.
"Jones, what's the situation? Why did the king die suddenly?" Yuffie asked in a low voice. She didn't hear any news that the king was seriously ill.
"Lucia, do it." Jones said coldly.
She had risked her life to pry it from a knight, and the palace was on a level of security she had never seen before, with many strangers and some guys in red robes.
"What? The eldest prince actually dared to murder the king, is he crazy?" Yuffie widened her eyes in surprise, which seemed to her to be a lunatic and deranged behavior.
"Hmph, that position is enough to make people mad." Jones's red eyes flashed with murderous intent. After she inquired about the news today, if it wasn't for the fact that the palace was not too heavily guarded, she would have taken off the head of the eldest prince long ago.
"Then what should we do now?" Yuffie looked pitifully at Princess Lucy who was sleeping on the bed, her frowning brows were full of sadness.
"Let's decide after Lucy wakes up." Jones said indifferently. She knew Lucy's temperament, she was the kind of person who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, otherwise she would have been cheated by the three princes and helped count the coins.
"Jones, don't let Your Highness do stupid things." Yuffie's pink eyes widened. She also knew Princess Lucy. If she knew that the king was murdered by the eldest prince, then Princess Lucy would definitely take revenge.
But with the current situation in the capital, let alone revenge, if you accidentally expose your identity, you will definitely be captured and taken into custody by the knights.
"She's not stupid..." Jones stared blankly at Princess Lucy who opened her eyes at some point.
"Uh..." Yuffie followed Leopard-Er Niang's gaze, and saw Princess Lucy lying silently, but tears kept streaming, she knew it was the calm before the storm.
"Do you want to be king then?" Princess Lucy said hoarsely, her tone full of hatred, "If that's the case, then destroy his hope."
"This..." Yuffie was stunned and said anxiously, "Your Highness, don't do anything stupid."
"What do you want to do? Assassinate directly?" Jones asked coldly.
She knew that the palace was heavily guarded, and once she broke into it, she would definitely die, but if Princess Lucy gave her orders, she would definitely break into the palace without saying a word.
"Go back to Sheba City, and use my honor to help HAD ascend the throne." Princess Lucy wiped her tears from her sleeves, didn't she want to be the throne?Then take away the position they value.
"Okay." Jones nodded coldly.
Chapter 0628 Catherine's expectations.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the royal capital, the residence of the Duke of Kerak.
"Miss, eat something, you eat so little every day." The maid begged, she looked at Miss Catherine who was leaning on the bed.
"Take it away, I don't have much appetite." Catherine waved her hand indifferently, looking at the lute hanging on the wall, wondering what she was thinking.
"Miss, if you continue like this, you will faint from hunger again." The maid said with tears in her eyes, "The master will be angry again."
"Hmph! Just be angry." Catherine's face was pale, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. "Anyway, to him, I'm just a commodity, as long as it doesn't break."
"This..." The maid was stunned, she didn't dare to answer these words, it would be fatal to be heard.
"Go down."
A mid-spirited voice suddenly sounded behind the maid, which made the maid tremble.
"Ah!" The maid turned around quickly, and saw a 1.7-year-old man about 60 meters long, with a big gray beard and a majestic face.
"Master." The maid saluted respectfully, then bowed her head and retreated.
This old man is the Grand Duke of Kerak, one of the three Dukes of the Kingdom of Yingluo, and Catherine's father.
"Catherine, you're not eating well again." Kerak sat on the chair and looked at the intact dinner on the table with a blank expression.
"My daughter has no appetite." Catherine glanced at Kerak with her golden eyes, and said coldly, "Father, today is the time to say those words again, so there is no need to speak, I will not agree."
"Catherine, you are too presumptuous." A young man walked out next to him, about 23 or years old. He was Kerak's eldest son Tove, the one who shot Catherine's pigeon.
"Hmph, what's none of your business?" Catherine said indifferently, pursing her lips without looking at him.
"You..." Tove's face suddenly turned ugly. He is the future grand duke, so he didn't give him face.
"Okay, you go down." Kerak waved his hand, and Tov shut his mouth unwillingly, turned around and strode away.
"..." The corners of Catherine's mouth slightly raised. This time, she understood what Darlene said before, what is her fate.
"Catherine, you should understand that marrying the eldest prince Lucia is the best choice for you, and it is also very beneficial to the family." Kerak persuaded kindly.
"..." Catherine remained silent and did not answer. Someone would say something like this to her every two or three days.
"Eldest Prince Lucia, ascending to the throne is inevitable. The second and fourth princes have retreated to the fief. Now no one dares to compete with the eldest prince. If you marry the eldest prince, you will be the queen." Kerak said passionately .The Grand Duke's position is also more stable, maybe the younger generation of the family will have the opportunity to sit in that position in the future.
"..." Catherine was still silent, a trace of sadness flashed in her golden eyes, she was really a commodity, the kindness to her before was all an illusion, just to cultivate a good commodity, a good commodity with a reputation, Can sell for a good price.
"..." Kerak frowned and looked at the expressionless Catherine, his face suddenly sank, and he said indifferently, "What should I ask you?"
"I want to rest." Catherine lifted the quilt and hid inside.
"Hmph, I can't let your temper go this time, you have to marry if you don't want to marry." Kerak snorted coldly, got up and walked out, shaking his sleeves.
He didn't publicly support the eldest prince before, and now he can only remedy it. Catherine is the best remedy. He raised Catherine from a young age, isn't it just for today, or would he spend so many gold coins on such a waste of money as a lute?
"Ugh..."
Catherine was weeping under the quilt. She forgot how many tears she had shed during this time. She was helpless and imprisoned. If she didn't have a little bit of expectation in her heart, she might not be able to persist.
She has been imprisoned in the room for several months, and she is taught by several old maids every day to learn court etiquette and the code of conduct of the mother of a country.
I can't hold on any longer, let her marry someone who she doesn't like, but hates, she would rather die.
If she had never met HAD, she might not have had such a big reaction, and she would have married if she married, but now that there is someone living in her heart, it would be a bit desperate for her to marry again.
"Click da..."
There was a sound of scraping sand on the wall, which made people get goosebumps. Catherine trembled slightly. She lifted the quilt and looked over, only to see a figure standing in the dark part of the room.
Catherine's golden eyes widened, and she was about to shout, when she saw a black figure walking out of the darkness, and seeing that familiar face, tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Woo..." Catherine pursed her mouth, tears streaming down her face, and covered her mouth with her hands to keep from crying, otherwise the maid outside would come in.
"This is a letter from Lucy." A trace of pity flashed in Jones' red eyes, and she came to Catherine silently, handed over the letter, and a small box with her left hand, and said coldly, "This is Liu Something Feng gave you."
"Shh!"
The small box was snatched by Catherine in an instant, and then she took the letter, and the corners of Jones' eyes twitched as she read it.
"Tomorrow, I'll come back." Jones said lightly, entered the darkness of the room briskly, and left the Duke's mansion in a concealed manner.
Catherine looked into the darkness in the corner of the room, the corners of her mouth turned up, a tinge of red flushed her pale cheeks, and she looked down at the box and the letter.
She had the confidence to survive again.
"Ta Tata..."
There was a sound of footsteps, and Catherine quickly hid the letter and box under the quilt in fright.
"Miss, let's eat something." The maid brought another bowl of polished rice porridge.
"Yeah." Catherine nodded slightly.
"Miss, don't eat anymore..." The maid habitually persuaded her again, but she was stunned in the middle of her speech, and looked at her lady in disbelief. If she was not deaf, did the lady agree just now?
"Bring it here." Catherine said coldly.
"Yes." The maid smiled and brought the polished rice porridge over.
Chapter 0629 rest assured waiting.
The maid looked at Catherine who was munching on the polished rice porridge, her eyes blinking non-stop, as if she saw something unbelievable.
She knew that the young lady had lost her appetite for several months, she stayed in her room closed all day, occasionally cried non-stop, or was in a daze, and only ate a little food unless she was really hungry.
It's been a long time since I ate something like today. Miss Darlene would have been like this when Miss Darlene was around.
Is the lady thinking about it?Want to marry His Highness the First Prince?The maid opened her mouth, but she wanted to say something but didn't say it. She wanted to ask if Miss HAD had been forgotten?
As Catherine's personal maid, she still knows some secrets. For example, Miss Ye will call a person's name when she sleeps and dreams.
"Huh..." Catherine let out a long breath and patted her stomach, feeling refreshed.
She turned her head to see the maid in a daze, and said angrily, "What's the matter? Why are you so dazed?"
2
"Ah?" The maid trembled and said in a panic, "Miss, do you want another bowl?"
"I'm full, no need." Catherine shook her head with a slight smile on her lips.
"Miss, what's the matter with you?" The maid asked cautiously. She knew that the master planned to marry the young lady to the eldest prince on the day when the eldest prince ascended the throne, that is, one month later.
But the lady doesn't like the eldest prince, but the person she likes is Lord HAD.
Catherine passed the bowl over calmly, waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, go down, don't let anyone disturb my rest."
"Yes." The maid said respectfully, a trace of worry flashed in her pupils.
She was afraid that the young lady would not think about it, after all, Catherine was too abnormal now.
"Gag..."
Catherine looked at the closed door, and hurriedly took the letter and box from the quilt, feeling a little nervous and confused.
This letter was given to her by Princess Lucy, not Darlene. After all, Darlene went to Sheba City to ask HAD for help, but now HAD gave her the box.
"It doesn't matter, let's take a look first." Catherine shook her head, opened the box, and looked at the contents inside. Her golden eyes suddenly smiled into crescents, full of sweetness.
It's a few lollipops, the chocolate Darlene had received earlier, and a note.
There are only four words on the note: "Don't worry and wait."
Catherine felt relieved, all the uneasiness and panic before had disappeared.
"Hee hee hee..." Catherine smirked while holding the note, and sniffed it in front of her nose.
"..." This smile didn't matter, but it shocked the maid outside the door.
Miss, what's the matter?You were crying just now, why are you laughing now, nothing will happen, right?The maid turned around anxiously.
"I will wait, I will wait forever." Catherine smiled, shook off her long blue hair, put the note back into the box, opened a lollipop and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Well, it's so sweet and so good."
Catherine was in a very happy mood. She covered the box, stuffed it under the pillow, took the envelope from Princess Lucy, and opened it to look.
"Catherine, I'm Princess Lucy. I've returned to the capital. I'm here with Yuffie. Is there any way for you to get out of the Duke's mansion?..."
Catherine looked at this and smiled wryly. If she could leave the Duke's mansion, she would have sneaked away long ago. There are seven or eight knights guarding the door.
She shook her head and continued to read, "It doesn't matter if you can't come out. Your Excellency HAD has already agreed to Darlene's request. He will send someone to take you out of the Duke's Mansion, as long as you are willing."
"When I rescue you, I will go to Sheba City with you. The father is dead and was murdered by the eldest prince. You have to be careful, don't reveal your emotions..."
"Remember, don't do stupid things. Your Excellency HAD said that you are his good friend and will definitely rescue you. Darlene also sends her greetings to you."
This is the end of the letter. It is short but informative. Especially the fact that the king was murdered by the eldest prince is frightening. If this news spreads, it will probably cause turmoil.
For example, those nobles who are loyal to the king will definitely take the lead against the eldest prince, and those careerists will also find excuses to attack the eldest prince.
"But, it's none of my business." Catherine sneered, that hypocrite Lucia actually killed his father, it was really vicious.
She found paper, took out the pen she brought back from Sheba City, and quickly wrote a reply. There was still one month left, and she could afford to wait, and was willing to wait.
"I have to find a way to go to Yuffie's place." After writing the letter, Catherine hesitated, "Forget it, let's not go for now, so as not to implicate Yuffie in the future."
Based on the little information she got from her father, the most powerful force in the kingdom now is the eldest prince. Even the second and fourth princes combined cannot compare to the eldest prince, otherwise her father would not have voted for him.
If she went to Yuffie's place and she disappeared later, it would definitely implicate Yuffie.
"I don't know how HAD is going to rescue me? Do you want to forcefully break into the Duke's Mansion?" Catherine frowned and thought, feeling a bit difficult. There are at least 200 knights stationed in the Duke's Mansion.
Before people came to rescue her, Catherine made up a lot of things by herself.
"Will HAD come in person? No, don't come in person, it's too dangerous."
"But..."
"Ah, what are you thinking, don't think about it..."
Catherine grabbed her hair, plunged into the quilt, twisted her buttocks, the girl's mind was too messed up.
"..."
The maid outside the door was stunned and became even more anxious. Why did the lady make some strange noises? Could it be that the lady is going crazy?She dared not break in.
It's all the fault of the eldest prince and the master for forcing the young lady into such a state. It's better to be with Mr. HAD, eat delicious food, and go shopping every day. It's novel and fun.
It's normal for Miss to fall in love with Mr. HAD, after all, he is good-looking and smart, and the food in the castle is delicious.
A master and a servant are all imagining that there really is a master and a servant.
Chapter 0630 composite crossbow.
Outside Sheba City, the military and political department's soldier training base, more than 1000 people are training at this time, and they have just returned from the imprisoned mountain range.
"Run, don't try to be lazy." Niu Dazheng roared loudly, these are recruits, they have only been recruited for about ten days, and they are building up their strength and physique, and the most important thing is discipline.
"Ta Tata..."
"Snapped!"
A soldier ran over quickly, and the other stood at attention and saluted, "Mr. Chief, the Lord of the City is calling you over at the equipment warehouse."
"Okay." Niu Da was stunned for a moment, nodded immediately, and handed over the training task to his deputy.
"Ta Tata..."
Niu Da started to run, he remembered that a new batch of equipment arrived in the equipment warehouse today, the young master came to inspect it?
The Military and Political Department has grown bigger and bigger, and the military camps have also begun to build concrete buildings, some of which have already been put into use. The equipment warehouse is the first to be built, and it is also one of the most rigorous places.
When Niu Da came outside the equipment warehouse, he saw the members of the Wolf Warriors team guarding the door, and hurriedly strode into the equipment warehouse.
After he entered, he saw the young master playing with a crossbow. It was a newly researched compound crossbow. It was very powerful and could penetrate heavy armor within a hundred meters. It was a secret weapon.
"Master." Niu Da stepped forward and said respectfully.
"How is the recruit training?" HAD stared at the compound crossbow with black eyes, which evolved from the compound bow, and what he pursued was lethality.
"Master, the discipline of the recruits has initially met the requirements." Niu Da bowed his head and hurriedly reported, "The physical strength is still far behind."
"Is there enough mutton?" HAD put down the compound crossbow and picked up the crossbow arrow beside it. The arrowhead is made of steel, and the body of the arrow is made of wood for economy.
"Enough." Niu Da replied.
Recently, there has been a lot of mutton in the military camp, which is much better than pork. Now all the meat in the military camp is replaced by mutton.
"Let's start training the recruits to use the crossbow arrows, the storm is coming." HAD put down the crossbow arrows, turned his head and looked into the depths of the equipment warehouse, where there were many armors.
This equipment depot is enough to equip 2000 soldiers. HAD has invested the most in military affairs, and this equipment depot alone is worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
"Master, did something happen?" Niu Da's expression froze slightly, and he abnormally accelerated the soldiers' crossbow training.
"There is information that the fourth prince, Ding Keda, has settled down in Somali City." HAD stepped into the equipment warehouse and felt relieved when he saw rows of Modao.
"Somali City? Is the fourth prince planning to occupy the western land first?" Niu Da immediately guessed a possibility.
He knew that the capital was competing for the throne.
"The war is coming." HAD waved to Mina, and the cat-eared lady immediately took out an envelope from the small leather bag she carried with her and handed it to Niu Da.
Niu Da immediately took the hand, opened it and looked at it, his face became more solemn as he looked at it, and took a deep breath, "Master, what should we do now?"
The letter was written about the recent movements of other cities in the western land. Many city owners began to defect to the fourth prince, which was not good for Sheba City.
"We have only two choices, either to fight or to sacrifice everything." The corner of HAD's mouth slightly raised, and he flicked the Mo Dao with his slender fingers, making a crisp "clang clang" sound.
"Fight, don't even try to snatch the young master's things." Niu Da sternly said, his eyes full of murderous intent.
They are living a good life, how could they give everything to the fourth prince.
Sheba City is too far away from the king's capital, and there is no respect for kingship. A king is not as effective as the city lord of this city. Niu Da has such a mentality.
"Quickly train, it's not far away." HAD put down his arms and said calmly, "Pick out 500 people to form an army crossbow team, and recruit another auxiliary soldiers to help transport the crossbow arrows."
The range of the compound crossbow is at least 500 meters, so it is a bit difficult to pull the string of the crossbow. This requires help, and the arrows of the crossbow also need help. The auxiliary soldiers are here to help.
HAD intends to learn from the Qin Dynasty on Earth, don't say anything, and wash the ground with crossbows and arrows before the battle. With the combat power of this era, it is absolutely invincible.
The knights who were hundreds of meters charged were enough for several waves of crossbow arrows, and the rest of the knights were also defeated.
"Yes." Niu Da respectfully said.
"Don't save on crossbow arrows, practice hard for me, need speed, release the arrow and hang the string as fast as possible." HAD said with a serious face.
Once the war with the fourth prince is over, he will be the real speaker of the western land, and in the ancient times of the earth, he was the one who cracked the earth and sealed the king.
Originally, he wanted to develop it for a while, but the enemies had already come to him, so he had to prepare.
Once Ding Keda is allowed to sit firmly on the west side, there will be too many disadvantages for HAD. He doesn't want to let a prodigal dog take over the territory he managed so hard to manage.
The fourth prince came to the west from the capital, and in HAD's eyes, he was a prodigal dog. Originally, the resources in the west were scarce, and he dared to come to the west to develop. Once a large number of knights and civilians were taken away, what would happen The West End is the hard hit.
Not to mention how much food will be taken up, this is not allowed by HAD. His next plan can radiate the entire Yingluo Kingdom, which is to rely on the people in the west. Now let the fourth prince harm it, and the motivation for the plan will be less Most of it.
"Understood." Niu Da breathed a sigh of relief, with the young master's words, he fed a large number of crossbow arrows to a quick-attack crossbow soldier.
"Have the heavy cavalry adapted to the new horses?" HAD asked while observing the equipment warehouse, "Is there any problem with those horses?"
The first batch of business transactions of the Beastkin tribe had already arrived in Sheba City, and among them were war horses.
"No problem, they are all high-quality war horses." Niu Da said happily, "This war horse is much better than the batch of war horses I bought before."
"That's good." HAD nodded in satisfaction. After all, it was the war horse used by the Beastkin themselves, and of course it was much better than the war horse they bought before.
He looked at the rows of canned mutton in front of him. He didn't expect that there were so many cans, enough to fight a war.
Chapter 0631 The use of steam engines.
"Master, do you want to go back?" Mina turned her head and asked, after finishing her official duties in the morning, she accompanied the young master to the Military and Political Department.
"Mina, tell me, that fourth prince is already a loser, why do those city lords still lean over?" HAD asked lightly, and he walked out of the equipment warehouse.
"Huh?" Mina was stunned for a moment, followed immediately, frowned and thought, and said, "Maybe there is still a little fantasy."
"Fantasy?" HAD raised his mouth slightly, walked out the door, and squinted at the sun in the sky.
"Master, according to the information, Ding Keda has at least knights. Maybe those people are afraid of being retaliated." Mina said hesitantly.
"It seems that we are too low-key." HAD lowered his head, turned his head to look at the red-bottomed black dragon flag flying in the square, and said with a chuckle, "This time, let's be more high-key."
Fear of reprisal?Aren't you afraid of Sheba City?
He decided to get involved. If he doesn't get rid of these three noisy princes, he won't be able to concentrate on his development. The three of them will definitely trouble him all the time. Who told him there are so many good things here.
2
"Master, I think it will be over if you send someone to assassinate Ding Keda." Mina said indifferently, those people were summoned by the fourth prince, without the fourth prince, everything would be nothing.
"No, up to now, it is useless to kill a fourth prince." HAD shook his head. Those nobles who left with the fourth prince are already traitors to the eldest prince. People are these traitors.
Therefore, if you want to fight, you have to fight them all. His mining area needs a lot of people to build roads.
"Is it useless?" Mina frowned and thought.
"Go to the scientific research department and see how the steam engine research is going." HAD said lightly, the use of the steam engine is related to the beginning of the next plan.
The whole territory plan of the Kingdom of England, as well as the export plan and so on.
Now Sheba City is in urgent need of transformation. There are more and more workshops, like some low-income workshops, which take up too much of the population. If this continues, the population of more than 2 will not be enough.
The market is getting bigger and bigger, and the production must be bigger and bigger. The result is that a large number of people have to be put into work.
In order to occupy the entire market of the Kingdom of Yingluo, the working population of the workshops in Sheba City is at least 10,000+ people. Based on the current population growth, it will take at least two years.
What HAD lacks is time. Now that the three princes are vying for the throne, it is the best time for him to attack, so the hope of liberating the population is the steam engine.
The carriage set off quickly, left the Military and Political Department, and headed for the Scientific Research Department.
The cat-eared lady looked at the young master with his eyes closed and meditating. She always felt that the young master's expression became more serious after seeing the information about Ding Keda's residence in Somalia this morning.
"Ta Tata..."
Soon arrived at the scientific research department, HAD took Mina straight to the research institute where Jialin was, and heard the sound before she arrived.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The sound of striking iron made HAD full of curiosity. He stepped into the yard and saw a machine in the middle of the yard beating a piece of red iron one after another.
"This subordinate has seen the Lord City Master." The people around immediately saluted.
"Jalin, what are you doing?" HAD raised his eyebrows and asked, this steam engine is very well used.
"My lord, it's a blacksmithing steam engine, which is used to replace manual blacksmithing." Jialin ran up to report.
"Forging iron steam engine?" HAD was surprised, isn't it similar to some stamping machines on the earth?Just replace it with a hammer.
"Yes, my subordinate saw that the people below were working too hard forging iron, so they used the steam engine." Jialin said cautiously.
"Very good, very good." HAD praised continuously, walked around the steam engine, and pointed out, "We can make another big one, replace the big hammer, and use the way of hitting..."
He explained some principles and provided Jialin with a new direction. The blacksmithing steam engine this time really surprised HAD.
"Yes." Galin replied respectfully.
"Are there any other steam engines?" HAD asked, turning his head to look around.
"My lord, we have produced three types of steam engines these days. In terms of power, the blacksmith steam engine just now is the biggest one." Jialin quickly reported.
"How about the small one?" HAD mentioned several invention directions before.
"Small steam engines are as powerful as horses, and two of them have already been sent to the mining area." Jialinhui reported that after they improved the steam engines, they put them into use.
"Oh, what about the model?" HAD asked curiously.
"Stability testing is still underway, and the results will be available tomorrow." Jialin said hastily.
This model is also the most important model, because it is used for power in workshops.
"Which type of steel loom can be used?" HAD raised his eyebrows. He found that after Jialin and others made the steam engine, it was as if they were enlightened, and the progress was getting faster and faster.
"Both the small and medium models are fine, but it is more cost-effective to cooperate with the medium model." Jialin said cautiously.
"I will start the textile test tomorrow. If it succeeds, I will mark it as a great achievement for you." HAD said seriously.
The main export of Sheba City is linen, and it is also one of the workshops with the largest population. HAD plans to use the steam loom in the textile workshop to liberate a large number of people.
The most important thing is to weave woolen thread, which is what HAD wants to occupy the high-end market in the future. The linen market is the middle and lower class, and the earning is very little.
"Yes." Galin's eyes showed joy.
"By the way, how is the steamship doing?" HAD also paid attention to the boat.
"My lord, the power of the steamship is not enough. We need a larger steam engine. We are already building it, and it will enter the testing stage in a few days." Jialin quickly explained.
"Take me to see these steam engines." HAD ordered. With such great progress in steam engines, some plans can be advanced.
"Yes." Galin said respectfully.
Chapter 0632 Planning.
At night, in the study of the castle, HAD was translating some knowledge points about steam engines.
During the day, the scientific research department gave him a surprise, so some plans could be accelerated. The temptation of industrialization forced HAD to translate more knowledge to Jialin and others.
The focus of all plans is the use of the steam engine.
"Master, Leia and Mira will be back tomorrow." Annie put down her pen, flicked her wrist, and said, looking for a topic, "It should be fine, right?"
A few days ago, Leya and Mila flew away with a dozen hot air balloons, and they flew back and forth many times. They also brought other flying bird Beastkin to help. This time, they went to Shizhu Mountain to pick up people. Coming to Sheba City, the first batch of flights will only pick up a small number of people, and the rest of the hot air balloons are filled with fuel and supplies for Shizhushan.
"It'll be fine." HAD put down his pen, flicked his drunken wrist, looked at Fleur who was eavesdropping with her feathered ears up, and said softly, "Don't forget to return the parachute."
After saying this, Fleur's hand that stopped turning the pages of the book started again, and the other hand was writing homework.
"Master, drink tea." Nicole rolled her eyes, this Annie really didn't know how to talk, so she got up and poured a cup of hot tea for HAD.

"Weiya, where is the school's tutorial?" HAD asked the rabbit-eared lady holding a teacup, "Is there anyone who can come out to work?"
"Ah?" Viya was stunned for a moment, put down the work of writing a stage play, shook her rabbit ears, and said hesitantly, "There are seven or eight 15-year-old children, and they have made rapid progress, surpassing the literacy progress of most students ."
"Give them a test paper, and if you pass it, come out and work as an intern. There is a shortage of manpower now." HAD said softly, the management staff is too short, and there are nearly people in Huiyan City, but not many people can read.
"Okay." Viya nodded. For those who study fast, it is a waste of time to stay in school, and it is good to come out for an internship.
"Master HAD, I'm going to take the exam." Fleur put down her pen, staring at HAD with her green eyes. Her reading progress is faster, and after the Earth New Year, she is already 14 years old.
"Then where do you want to work?" HAD asked with interest. The girl's study progress is very fast, and he will teach some knowledge.
In terms of school, he originally wanted to teach some profound knowledge, but found that no one was using it, so he could only let some older people come out to work.
"Air Force, I'm going to the Air Force." Fleur's green eyes were shining brightly, she was going to a place where she could fly, and she could also go on missions.
"Okay, after you pass the exam, you can go to the Air Force and be with your sisters then." HAD agreed after thinking about it.
"..." Fleur was stunned. When did her elder sister agree to go to the Air Force?
"Don't worry, she will agree to me." The corner of HAD's mouth raised slightly, Leiya's temperament was as easy to understand as Fleur's.
"Yeah." Fleur stroked the wings on her back. It only takes two or three months for them to fully grow.
"Ta Tata..."
"Hey, hey, don't scratch, I'm ticklish..."
There were footsteps outside the door, and the sound of playing, and the next second, there was a knock on the study door.
"Boom bang bang..."
"Come in." HAD raised his eyebrows, knowing who was coming.
"Gag..."
The door of the study was pushed open, and Darlene, Billis, Deess, Mina, and Avery walked in. Their hair was all wet, and they knew they had gone to a hot spring.
"Wow, this is too gorgeous." Biris looked at the furnishings in the study in amazement, especially when she saw the wine bottles in the wine cabinet, her aqua blue eyes sparkled.
"Bliss, how is the wound? Does it still hurt?" HAD raised his mouth slightly. Biris has been lying in bed for many days, and this is the first time she got up tonight, and then she was taken to take a bath.
"It's much better." Biris replied subconsciously, her water blue eyes still fixed on the shiny wine bottle.
"Okay, stop watching, let's play Landlords." Deess reached out and patted the mermaid's shoulder.
"Oh..." Bi Lisi blinked her eyes and answered, sat down and looked around, the more she looked, the more surprised she was, this study is so gorgeous, I really want to use pearls to exchange some things to go home. 0
"Huh?? What kind of crystal is this?" She turned her head just in time to see a string of sparkling pendants above her head.
"That's a lamp. It will be more beautiful when it's powered on." HAD replied softly. The wires and lamps have been installed, and the only thing left is the installation of hydropower and solar power.
These two things, HAD is still transporting from the earth a little bit, especially the solar panels, he needs more solar panels.
"Oh!" Bi Lixuan nodded in confusion, but she didn't understand what it meant at all.
"Mina, how many city lords are there in the city now?" HAD turned to look at the cat-eared lady who was sitting on the desk combing her hair.
"Six." Mina responded immediately, and the six city lords were all under her watch.
"Too little." HAD frowned, not having much effect on his plan, and ordered Mina, "Give the letter express an order, and send an invitation letter to the city lords, saying that I have big business. To do business with them is at least gold coins per year."
"Yes." Mina responded immediately.
"Master, is the plan about to start?" Annie asked, shaking her fox ears.
"Well, it's ready to start, we have the next generation to replace." HAD's lips curled up.
"Will they come?" Annie was a little worried, flicking her fox tail, biting the tip of her pen, and said, "Many of them should go to contact Ding Keda."
"Hey...then help spread some rumors, saying that the fourth prince is a loser who was chased and killed by the eldest prince, and then fled to the west, sooner or later he will be defeated."
HAD showed a black-bellied smile, and said calmly, "In this way, those city lords should make a choice, a dangerous opportunity, or is my side more attractive?"
"Hee hee... As long as you are not a fool, you should choose us." Annie covered her mouth and chuckled.
Nicole on the side shook her head amusedly, and the young master started to plot against others again.
Chapter 0633 escape away.
Blade's Edge City, the genius was shining at this time, all the Beastkin gathered together, all looking in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
In the city lord's mansion, Deess sat on the first seat, looking at the confidants below with no expression on his face, full of bitterness and helplessness in his heart.
He never thought that a fourth prince would come to this remote place and bring two thousand knights with him. This number was not something he could compete with.
I will come here when I come, and I plan to recruit all the city lords to discuss the matter. If the previous lord of the blade city did not suck too many devil fruits and died suddenly, maybe he can send the lord of the blade city. Now the city of the blade is completely occupied by the Beastkin. Send a few slaves The probability of the human race going out and being exposed is 90.00%.
Once exposed, they will be besieged by human knights. Their nature is different from Sheba City. Sheba City is dominated by human races, and those human nobles can bear it, but Blade City is dominated by Beastkin. Human nobles are definitely not willing. See.
Then, the only choice is to leave Blade's Edge City, and flee away before it is fully exposed.
Originally, Deess wanted to find the treasure, so that he could recruit more Beastkin knights, buy a lot of wheat, do business with the human race to buy armor, and so on.
In this way, they can occupy the land in the west and split a piece of land to become the king, but the plan can't keep up with the changes, not to mention that the treasure map has not been found, and the Sheba City is not easy to mess with, and it is developing too fast.
Now everything is shattered, and the treasure map was too difficult to find before.Now he finally bought the treasure map of the suspected Brutus Beastkin kingdom, but the prince of the human race came and brought a large number of human knights, which made him have to make an immediate choice.
Deess's choice was to enter the confinement mountain range, and he had no choice. There was not enough food, and the gold coins were almost spent. If he needed money or food, he would die if he stayed any longer.
