What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 172 Belinda's 1500 Licking Dogs

Colin gradually figured out the character of the elves.

Although they generally have living habits and moral values ​​similar to human beings, perhaps because of their long lives, their views on many things are different from human beings.

For example, a human magister would never say something like "we go together with more people", at least not so bluntly.

Colin thanked Olivia again, and then left.

On the way back to the castle, he took a look at the mine on the west side of the castle on a whim—Wald named it the West Mountain Mine.

The number of kobolds has increased to about 1500. According to Olivia, this is basically the limit. At least there are no more kobolds in the surrounding area of ​​the fortress.

1500 Kobolds sounds like a lot, but after getting into the mines in the Dragon’s Back Mountains, it’s just a drop in the ocean. If these little things never come back, even Olivia can’t do anything with them, but after candles and elves Under the temptation, no kobold has left yet.

Colin was very curious and asked Olivia how she was sure. After all, there are so many kobolds who look alike, how can she be sure of this.

The answer is: Belinda can know all kobolds.

Coral's friend, the elven girl Belinda, is currently appointed by Olivia as the supervisor of the kobold miners.

The 11-year-old elf girl is very satisfied with this position, and completes the work conscientiously. She stays at the entrance of the mine almost every day, supervising and encouraging every kobold.

The so-called supervision is to remember the appearance of each kobold to ensure that they are not lazy-this kind of thing can only be done by elves, anyway, Colin can't even tell whether the kobolds are male or female.

The so-called encouragement is to distribute food and candles to them fairly, and occasionally let passing kobolds lick their toes.

The elf girl with 1500 standard licking dogs is high-spirited. Recently, she even spends less time looking for corals to play, so corals can only take the initiative to go to the mine.

When Colin came, two girls were standing on the edge of the mine, one on the left and the other on the right, supervising the work, with serious expressions, as if they were afraid that any kobold would not be diligent enough.

"You don't have to be so mean, it's okay to let them rest for a while." Ke Linxin said that these two little girls really have the potential to be black-hearted capitalists.

"grown ups."

"Lord Lord." Belinda followed Coral and shouted.

"Don't bully them too much, the water flows forever." Colin laughed.

"I didn't bully them. These little guys really like Belinda. Every time they come out of the mine and take a look at her, they will be full of energy, and we don't need to control them." Coral rushes to explain.

Belinda also nodded in agreement: "That's right, Lord Lord, please watch."

After finishing speaking, the elf girl raised a hand and yelled, "Yeah! Xihou! Anma!"

The voice just fell.

I saw all the kobolds at the entrance of the mine suddenly became excited, and shouted, almost jumping on the spot: "Yeah! Xihou! Anma!"

Colin could understand, the meaning of these three words was: "Mining, candle, toe."

His jaw dropped instantly.

The first two words are quite normal, but the truth of the last one is unexpected.

The meaning of a few words combined is obviously: "Dig well, have candles, and can lick the toes of elves."

This heartbreaking slogan made Colin not want to admit that these kobolds were working for the fortress.

However, these kobolds have already been mobilized.

"Yeah! Xihou! Anma!"

"Yeah! Xihou! Anma!"

"..."

The kobolds in the mine heard the shouts of their companions, and they also shouted.

A cry spread from the entrance of the cave all the way to the inside, and finally there was a huge echo from the entire mine, all of which were "Yah! Xihou! Anma!".

Colin was even worried that the mine would collapse.

After shouting for a few minutes, the voice gradually subsided.

Ke Lin felt infinitely emotional, and didn't know what to say, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Very good, keep working hard."

"Okay." Belinda was encouraged.

……

Colin didn't know how deep the kobolds dug the mine. He only knew that the original rail minecart had gone deep underground.

Today's mine openings have been enlarged several times because it was necessary for humans to be able to lay the tracks inside.

The current minecart has undergone several revisions and improvements.

There are two side-by-side railway tracks, which continuously transport a large amount of ore from the mine, and there are even a few small magic energy devices on one of them. This is the latest experiment of the magic research laboratory. If successful, it will greatly improve Save manpower...and dog power.

Track building used to be Matthew's job, but now it's Darren.

The high-level knight was originally only responsible for building ordinary roads, but once he came to the mine and saw the rail mine car, he immediately became interested.After several on-site surveys, it was concluded that the original track construction was unreasonable and could be done better.

For the second time, he not only made suggestions to Matthew, but also wrote a report and submitted it directly to Wald. When he met Colin, he even proposed that he consider building a road similar to a rail minecart, connecting Winter City and Akihara City, so that the delivery of supplies can be much faster and more convenient.

Ke Lin was a little shocked by his idea. The idea of ​​the railway was originally on Xia Ya's blueprint. With the improvement of mana technology, this tool that can greatly improve the transportation capacity must be will change the world.

Yet he and Wald have been hesitating.

The mana train is much more complicated than the rail mine car, and once the construction starts, the manpower and material resources invested are not a small amount. If it is not designed well at the beginning, when problems are found, if you want to modify it or start over, the loss will inevitably be great.

According to Ke Lin's vision, the project will not officially start until at least half a year later.

However, Daeron gave him a great surprise.

It has to be said that the level of education of the knights themselves allows Daeron to easily accept new things in the fortress.

And after his talent in road construction gradually showed, it was also impressive.

In addition to magic, some of Daeron's suggestions to Colin were praised by Walder, such as some engineering problems when crossing rivers and mountains. Daeron only studied with Matthew for a few months. I have already been able to speak clearly and logically. Although some ideas are still immature, the future can be expected.

Colin suddenly realized that it seemed good to entrust him with the construction of the railway.

More than half of the stucco road leading to Qiuyuan City has been completed.

After the end, let Dai Lun invest in the construction of the railway, which is a matter of course, the best of both worlds, and everyone is happy.
