Cthulhu Gonfalon

Inside the less bright tunnel, a group of workers wearing heavy protective clothing, who looked like they were coming out of the science fiction game, were wielding shovel and shovel, trying to dig.

They use a shovel to dig up the soil and use it. Whenever they encounter a stone, they use the technique of “semi-enchantment”. When excavating the soil, it is very labor-saving, and it will be harder when encountering stones. But after all, it can still be solved.

The excavated soil and gravel were shoveled to the two adjacent carts. Each time a car was built, someone was responsible for pushing the car out and pushing it up along the inclined tunnel to the processing station near the exit. Go back to an empty car.

As for the dirt or gravel sent to the processing station, the trainee magician working there will launch a magical array to purify it. After the purification is completed, other workers will take it to the ground for other purposes.

This work is very hard, and most people can't do it. Even if it is barely done, it will be as tired as a dead dog. In a few days, it will accumulate a disease. These excavators were carefully selected from the pioneers. The original materials were relatively strong. After half a month of training and conditioning before the start of construction, there was meat, and now all the bodies are at their peak. In the state, if you are fighting with empty hands, the adventurers who have just entered the line may not beat them.

Among them, one of the protective suits is particularly conspicuous in color, is their captain.

Compared with those who are strong, the captain is shorter and has a weaker body. However, his work efficiency is higher than everyone's. If you study it carefully, you will find that he is more flexible and smarter than others. The mining posture is more reasonable. It is the technical gap that creates the gap in work ability.

And while he is working, he can also draw the spirit to pay attention to the situation around him. For example, look at the wooden strips used to support the top of the tunnel. It is not strong enough. For example, check the direction of the excavation against the plumb line. For example, check everyone's protective clothing and tools to see if there are any hidden dangers...

All in all, he is a worker, a patrol, or a nanny. A person who does a few things can do a good job. Although he dare not say that he is particularly outstanding, at least he can handle it.

This is the ability!

In the beginning, the strong men were very unconvinced about the captain who was obviously a little smaller than them, especially when they learned that this person is actually a miner, neither a retired adventurer nor a fallen aristocrat. They are all pioneers who have fallen from the south, and they are no more than a few years before them.

But after more than a month, they were all served.

In the same time, the captain is able to do more work than them, and in addition to work, the captain has the space to take care of the care, and the work is not as tired as they are.

what is this? This is the skill!

Not only that, he even read and read. These workers had to sign a contract before they worked. They read and explained. Those who could not sign could only cover a handprint. He also asked the name one by one and signed the name next to the handprint.

The level of education in this world is very low. Even though a **** who used knowledge and education as a priesthood in the past few years, in the face of the fact that most of the civilians are not enough to eat, he can do very limited things. And these pioneers are relatively poor in civilians, not to mention reading literacy, many of them even have a decent name.

For them, the "literacy of reading and literacy" skills is really too high-end atmosphere, far beyond the level they can reach!

It is a bit courageous for the pioneers to dare to cross the mountains and waters and to live in the legendary barren land. But no matter how courageous they are, they are still ordinary civilians. They are not adventurers of blood and blood. They are not aristocrats or bureaucrats who are used to intrigue. Their essence is still simple and honest. In the face of outstanding people, they will naturally admire and bow their heads. .

As a result, the authority of the captain was naturally established, and everyone was used to obeying the leadership of the captain.

There is no sky inside the tunnel. Only the glowing magic stone inlaid on the top of the cave, there is a clock in the corner, you can tell everyone the time.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the captain called everyone to work.

"It's still early, let's do it later." Some people say so.

"Yeah, haven't you just had a break?"

Because the rewards and workload are directly linked, the workers want to do more. However, the captain did not agree. He emphasized "safety first" and even pushed the team to let everyone finish the work and return to the ground.

Of course, they have to go to the purification first, and then they can get rid of the heavy protective clothing.

Safety first, is the iron of the construction site. Anyone who does not understand this rule and does not comply with this rule, even if only once, will be expelled immediately.

A group of people stood in the purification circle, watching the milky white light flowing through the body like a running water, could not help but smile.

I remember when they first received purification, some people shouted and worried that they would be drowned, and they couldn’t even hold the captain. Later, I found out that I had a big oolong, and the supervisor of the management was ridiculed.

The supervisor is a young man. He is about fifteen or six years old. Although he is young, he is already a formal magician. It is really enviable!

As a caster, his social status is extremely high. According to social rules, he can't laugh at a few words, even if he is killed on the spot. But this boy is actually quite kind and approachable. It should be said that the smile of laughter is no different from that of the children next door.

Oh, the difference is definitely there. The children next door are not as good as him.

In other words, this outstanding teenager is the real "neighboring child".

The world also has a tradition similar to that on the earth. When parents criticize their children, they often use the example of how good the "nearby children" are, but the neighbors of ordinary civilian families, even if they are so good, how can they compare with one another? What about a noble caster?

... Maybe the captain’s family can, suppose he still has time to marry his wife to have children.

Reif put the tool on the tool holder, wear protective clothing to the rinse room, turn the switch, let the water that has been infiltrated by the positive energy slowly flow down, rinse the body, then close the switch, take off the protective suit, and return Go to the tool room and hang it on the side of the drying rack.

He shook his head, turned his body, and worked for several hours in a row. Some stiff bodies were active. After a while, he felt completely comfortable and sighed deeply.

"When the captain is really tired!"

Tiredness is inevitable. When others are busy, he is more busy than others. When others are at rest, he can't rest. Check the daily work tools and protective clothing to avoid accidents. Wait until everything is checked, after dinner, if there is time, he will go to the magic school to listen to, or go to the library to read and study. Compared to those who have finished eating and sneaking around, or simply going to the pub in the pub, or the wife and children are hot, they are naturally tired.

But this is his life of choice, and he is happy.

President Felix said that people's lives are very short-lived. Instead of wasting time on complaints or playing, it is better to do something to let yourself wait until the old age is about to die. Look back and see things that make you smile. .

Reif thinks that if he goes on like this, he will be able to laugh when he is old.

Unfortunately, he lacks the talent of magic, can not become a mage, otherwise it would be even better!

After checking out everyone's tools and protective clothing, Reif walked out of the tool room and saw several workers talking and laughing outside, waiting for him to come out and laughing and greeting him.

These people are specially waiting for him.

Seeing these workers, Raif also laughed.

"Hey, captain."

"You can come out a little late today. Is there any problem with the tool?"

"No problem, just a few people have not cleaned their protective clothing."

"Ha ha ha! Let me guess, is it straw, wheat, how many of them?"

"Yeah, who else?"

"These guys! I heard that they didn't even wash their feet before going to bed at night."

"What?! How could their wife let them go to bed?"

"God knows, anyway, if I dare not wash my feet at night, my wife will definitely take me down."

"Wake up, brother, where are you from!"

"I just want to make an analogy. Captain, you said yes."

"... can I beat you?"

"Don't! Don't! I'm just kidding, captain, don't get angry."

"But then, the captain, you are now a bit of an identity, and you are reading and literate. Why don't you ask a wife? I think if you go to discuss your wife, even the daughter of the haha ​​boss of the grocery store can afford it."

"My God! The daughter of Harman's boss is only twelve years old! What are you thinking about in these guys' brains!"

"Think about what to eat tonight."

"Ha ha ha! That's right, what to eat tonight?"

"Go to the pub to eat, the tavern's cook was heard by the Lanxiang Technical School, and the barbecue was very good!"

"Is it good to eat barbecue every day? I want to drink fish soup."

"Fish soup is very expensive, two pots of silver coins!"

"...Hey! Why are you all looking at me?"

"Of course I look at you, the captain, you have money. I was able to notice when I got the salary together last time, a few of the golden ones!"

"How can I make you such a friend!"

"Ha ha ha! Big deal, next time I treat you."

"... Are you sure you will treat you next time? Wouldn't you like to ask me for a vegetable soup with brown bread?"

"Hey?! It’s really the captain!"

"...I should have beaten you!"

"When the next holiday, let's go fishing by the river. My wife said that she saw fish in the river yesterday."

"Wow! It's not that you can cook your own fish soup!"

"...you dare to cook, we dare not drink, or it is better to catch it and find a chef to help."

"Captain, you too look down on me! I was also the one who caught fish and shrimp in the rabbits in the mountains!"

"You can blow it. In the mountains, catch rabbits and fish, and fish and shrimp. The result is that you have to run here to discuss life? You are a fool!"

"My words haven't finished yet, I mean, my neighbor was such a person, and I learned a little."

“How much did you learn?”

"Probably... I can meet rabbits when I go up the mountain. I can know fish and shrimp when I get into the water. I am more familiar with them when I cook."

"...food!"

The group talked and laughed and walked along the newly paved gravel road to the town of Huishi.

In the setting sun, their bodies seem to be inlaid with a circle of gold and sparkling.
