Chapter 60 Rebecca's Great Project

Hetty didn't know what his ancestor from seven hundred years ago was thinking at this time, and was destined to be unable to understand the plans that were too far and grand for her now, but following Gao Wen's gaze and looking at the camp full of vitality in the distance, she seemed to be infected and excited.

A land from scratch, a brand new order, a promised bright future - Hetty thinks she has passed the girl's age easily touched by external objects, but at this moment, she still can't help but look forward to some better changes in this land.

This is the biggest difference between her and those traditional aristocrats - traditional aristocrats will not expect changes.

"You can remember what I told you today," Gao Wen suddenly turned around and reminded Hetty, "These things are too advanced, and they say to the governors, but they say to the nobles... If they don't understand, then they will regard you as a madman, and if they understand, then they will regard you as a mortal enemy."

Hety was slightly stunned, and with her talent, she quickly understood what Gao Wen meant.

Those new orders - although only a little clue can be seen now, are enough to touch the sensitive nerves of the nobles. It may really bring prosperity to this land, but that kind of prosperity is not necessarily what traditional nobles like.

After all, they are different from the people of the Cecil family, and their lives are extremely nourishing.

"I understand, but can I talk to Rebecca?" Hetty nodded, but as soon as he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, "That child probably won't understand these complicated things..."

"No, you underestimate her," Gao Wen laughed. "Actually, Rebecca is probably smarter than you think, but her talent has never found a suitable stage. I think she has...

Before Gao Wen could finish his words, a small figure suddenly appeared in his sight: Betty ran over quickly along the ridge of the field. The little maid with a few cute freckles on her face came to him, gasped for a few breaths, and then bowed stupidly: "Master! Miss Rebecca is looking for you!"

"What did she look for me..." Gao Wen stopped halfway through, "Oh, you must have forgotten."

"I haven't forgotten this time!" Betty stood up and said crisply, "She said she was going to start work, so you can go over and take a look at her results!"

Hetty walked up from behind: "What's the start of construction?"

Betty thought for a while and shook her head: "Forget it!"

Gowen & Hetty: “…”

"Okay, I know what it is," Gao Wen rubbed the head of the little girl in front of him with laughter and cry. "It seems that she has been studying the magic circle for several days and finally got the 'magic net'. But I thought she would have to work for a longer time - how about it, Hetty, do you want to go and see? Anyway, there is no important thing here for the time being. Why not go and see how Rebecca's first 'engineering project' was completed?"

"To be honest, I'm really worried about what she will be like. After all, a bad mage who only knows how to use fireball techniques has to make such a large-scale magic circle... Although they are all primary runes," Hetty smiled and shook his head, then looked towards the wooden shed, "Then Knight Philip, my ancestors and I will go to see the situation of the blacksmith shop, and I will leave it to you here first."

The young knight immediately stood up and tapped his breastplate with his hands: "It will definitely be fulfilled!"

A small supervisor of land reclamation made him shout an epic slogan... Gao Wen couldn't help but sigh, why did such a mature and old-fashioned figure among the young knights who strictly abide by the rules and regulations like classical knights... Could this be really the power of faith?

Gao Wen and Hetty left. Betty saw that there was nothing he had done about him, so he slipped into the wooden shed. It was still early before cooking and the work of washing clothes had been completed. The little maid, who had nothing to do for the time being, became interested in the papers left on the wooden table with a lot of words and pictures.

When Knight Philip saw the girl's actions, he stared at her movements seriously, in case the stupid little girl messed up those important things - he was ready to stop them at any time.

Betty looked at the drawing with the waterwheel in curiosity, but soon her interest moved to the journalist form with numbers and names. She leaned closer to the table and pointed at the pen and paper: "Can I write?"

Knight Philip took some paper and pen and looked at the little girl seriously: "Do you know how to write?"

"I can't write," Betty shook her head, then added, "I don't recognize words!"

"Then you don't have to touch it," said Philip a little sternly, "the paper, pen and ink are all bought by the lord for money, not for you to play with."

Betty was stunned for a moment and nodded in frustration: "Oh..."

Knight Philip frowned as he looked at the little maid's frustration. He felt that he might have been too strict, but it was his duty to protect the lord's property - especially when everything was short of supplies in the territory, and even a piece of paper and a pen had to be transported from Tanzan Town, he could not let a little girl waste those precious writing tools.

Finally, he comforted Betty a little, but the little girl left here with frustration and regret.

Looking at Betty's back walking on the ridge of the field, Philip couldn't help but remember the conversation between Duke Gowan and Mrs. Hetty that he had just heard.

Let them read.

Let everyone know literacy.

Is it really possible? Can it really be done? Will it really be done?

But if you really do this, then the little maid will probably be able to write.

When he came to the "Blacksmith shop", Gao Wen found that it had become a construction site. There were many busy "workers" in the open courtyard, and several soldiers were guarding various supplies piled up in a corner of the yard. Rebecca was standing in the middle of the yard, holding a large stack of paper in his hand and introducing something to the old blacksmith Hammer, while several Hammer's apprentices stood beside him honestly, listening with his ears.

It looks quite like that, and it is obvious that Rebecca only greeted Gao Wen after the project had been successfully started.

"Ah! Ancestor!" Rebecca saw Gao Wen, who was nearly two meters tall from afar, and then saw Hetty following Gao Wen, "And Aunt Hetty..."

The little girl had a serious awe of Herty.

"I'll see your progress," Herty smiled faintly. Although she didn't know how good Rebecca could do, she also felt that she needed to smile and encourage her, "It seems that you are full of confidence."

"Yes! I've been studying it for several days!" Rebecca said with her waist over her waist. Although she was a little fairy-like because she stayed up late, she was still full of energy. "This magic array is really great! Those calculation formulas are also... Master Ancestor, I tell you that those formulas are easy to use, thousands of times easier to use than those rigid rune arrangements and magic models, and you can apply them no matter how you apply them, and there is also this magic array..."

"Stop, stop, stop, we are not here to show off," Hetty quickly interrupted Rebecca's show. She knew that this niece was indeed very good in computing and theoretical knowledge, but she was afraid that this girl would annoy her ancestors when she kept chatting, "Just tell me how you plan to complete the magic circle."

As soon as he said this, Rebecca nodded vigorously: "Oh, I'm going to bury it underground..."

"Buried underground?!" Hetty was stunned for a moment, "I saw you digging a lot of ditches, but you were really ready to bury underground?"

When Gao Wen entered the yard, he also saw the gullies that Rebecca commanded people to dig on the ground. Those curved or straight, crossed or parallel lines formed many geometric structures in this huge yard, and formed a rough form of a magic array as a whole. In some places that seemed to be nodes, marks such as wooden stakes were also upright, and some auxiliary white lines were drawn around. Considering that almost all the people working here were illiterate and numerically, these auxiliary lines and coordinate positioning should have been done by Rebecca himself.

She first drew lines on the ground, and then told the workers where to dig and how much to dig. This should be her workflow.

After hearing Hedy's words, Gao Wen shifted his attention from the ravines. He looked at Hedy curiously: "Is there anything wrong with burying the magic circle underground?"

"No... there is no taboo," Hetty shook his head, "but most magic circles are exposed. On the one hand, it will take a lot of effort to bury them underground. On the other hand, magicians need to control the operation of the magic circle or monitor its situation. Burying the magic circle will obviously cause trouble."

What she said was common sense. Rebecca, as a third-level mage (although he only knows fireball skills), could not have known it, but the girl still did this, which only means that her jumping head had lost control again... Hetty was a little nervous, afraid that Gao Wen would blame Rebecca for this, so that the confidence that the latter had finally established would probably be greatly affected.

However, this child has suffered a lot since he was a child, so he should have survived it in a while, right?

And while Hedy was thinking about it, Gao Wen spoke: "Not to mention why you buried the magic circle underground-I want to know first, how did you accurately draw it on the ground?"

Rebecca was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the question of his ancestors meant.

Gao Wen actually asked this question with great surprise.

Rebecca drew a magic circle with extremely high accuracy requirements and various geometric figures on a plane with a length of 100 meters and a plane with a naked eye to observe the surface of the ground with serious errors!

This kind of thing is not difficult for Gao Wen's hometown world. There are countless surveying and mapping instruments and mathematical tools that can handle this kind of drawing. In this world where magic exists, this kind of thing can actually be done - magicians usually use the Eye of the Wizard or Hawkeye to look down from a high altitude, and use this simple and crude way to complete the drawing of large magic circles, but can Rebecca?

Apart from a few wooden stakes and some auxiliary lines, she had no advanced tools, and the world did not have a perfect mathematics and geometric system to help her. Apart from fireball, she did not have any other magic.

She doesn't know how to master the eye of a mage that a second-level mage can master.

So how did she do it?

Gao Wen repeated his question again: "How did you draw it accurately on the ground?"
