Although Merlin is very dissatisfied with the Aksu Empire, she still hopes that one day Zhao Hai can return to the imperial capital and become a great nobleman who can make waves in the imperial capital. That will mean that the Buda family has truly gained those old nobles.
The recognition has become truly powerful.
Merlin didn't know that Zhao Hai had no intention of going back to the imperial capital, let alone getting recognition from any established nobles. In Zhao Hai's view, the recognition of those established nobles had nothing to do with him. They were recognized
He has to live like this, and they don't recognize him. He still lives like this. As long as he has the strength, it doesn't matter whether they recognize him or not.
It’s no wonder that the two people’s concepts are so different. Merlin has lived here in the Ark Continent since he was a child. This is a world where nobles are respected. Being recognized by the established nobles is the goal of the emerging nobles. Gaining recognition
, that means they are real aristocrats, otherwise they would be called nouveau riche.
On the earth where Zhao Hai lives, there are no nobles at all. It doesn't matter if you are a noble. As long as I have money, I am a noble. As long as I have strength, you don't want to recognize me, so Zhao
Hai didn't care at all about what aristocrats were.
However, he will still study hard and understand the world better. Only in this way can he develop the Buda family as quickly as possible and become stronger.
After returning to the study, Zhao Hai was not in a hurry to read those miscellaneous notes. He searched carefully in the study and found that there were really no enlightenment books in the study. The simplest ones were probably just about fighting spirit and magic.
After getting started, Zhao Hai picked up those things and took a look at them. He found that they were all written very mysteriously. If there was no one to guide him and he just relied on reading books to learn, he might not be able to learn anything. In addition, he drank
After falling into the Water of Nothingness, I couldn't learn magic or fighting spirit, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I looked at it for a few times and threw it aside.
In the end, Zhao Hai focused his attention on miscellaneous notes, but when he was looking through miscellaneous books, he really found a good thing, which was a book about calligraphy.
This book about calligraphy introduced the uses of several pens on the desk in great detail. Zhao Hai finally understood that it turned out that the pens on the desk were not just for display, but each had its own purpose.
The uses of each.
The brush is used for writing and drawing. It is usually used by those who particularly like calligraphy. There are also magicians who use the brush when making some large magic scrolls, because the magic circle to be drawn on the scroll is relatively large.
The quill pen is the main pen used for making magic scrolls. Because the strokes are thin, it can be used to make some small and medium-sized scrolls.
And that pen-like pen is usually used for writing and recording, because the pen bag inside can store ink and can write a lot of words, which is very convenient, but this kind of pen cannot be used to make magic scrolls.
, because metal has poor magic conductivity, and ordinary magicians will not have metal things on their bodies, which will affect the use of magic. Of course, there are some special metals that also have good magic conductivity, but that metal
The prices are very expensive, and no one would be willing to use them to make pens.
Charcoal pens are specially used for alchemy. They usually use this pen to draw some drawings or prepare drafts for some paintings.
Only then did Zhao Hai understand that there were such pens on the table, but they were not for the sake of looking good, but they had their own uses, and each one had a different purpose.
Zhao Hai also saw in the miscellaneous notes that the common aristocrats on the mainland still use writing brushes when signing some particularly important words, which is a symbol of status.
This was a small surprise for Zhao Hai. When Zhao Hai was on earth, he always wanted to learn calligraphy and write brush calligraphy. But unfortunately, he had no money and no teachers at that time. In the end, his wish was just
I could just let it go, but I didn't expect that there is such a thing as calligraphy in this world. It seems that my wish may come true.
However, Zhao Hai has only memorized the usage of these types of pens. It is obviously a bit unrealistic for him to learn calligraphy now. There are too many things going on here in the black soil wasteland, and he does not have time to learn calligraphy.
Zhao Hai spent the whole afternoon in the study. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zhao Hai was stunned and said: "Who is it?"
The sound of stones came from outside: "Master, we have already collected several stones. Please go and help transport them back."
Zhao Hai put down his book, walked to the door, opened it and said, "Let's go." After saying that, he walked out first, and Shitou quickly ran up behind him.
As he walked out, Zhao Hai said, "Are you still quarrying in that cave?"
Shitou nodded and said: "Yes, young master, An looked at several caves and said that only the stones in that cave are the easiest to mine, and the stones produced in that cave are not iron ore and are used for making rollers and grinding iron."
It’s not too bad, maybe it’s because there is no iron ore there, so those dwarves didn’t mine there.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "You must pay attention to safety. We now have only a few people in the Buda family. We cannot lose more people. Every time we lose one person, our strength will be weaker. I ask you to follow them.
I’m just afraid that they will be too reckless.”
Shitou nodded. He understood what Zhao Hai meant. Encouraged by Zhao Hai to lift his status as a slave, the slaves were very enthusiastic about their work, but they were just a little too impatient and should pay attention to it.
As they talked, the two walked to the outer castle. The women were still weaving straw mats, but Ju and Meg were not seen.
Zhao Hai was not going either. He followed Shi Shi out of the castle. As the two walked up the mountain, Zhao Hai noticed that there seemed to be an extra hay shed at the top of the mountain. Zhao Hai pointed at the shed and said to Shi Shi: "The one on the top of the mountain.
Is the shed the sentry I mentioned?"
Shitou nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma Meilin asked us to help build a small shed. There are two people in the shed watching. Every two hours or so, someone will change the guard."
Zhao Hai nodded. Merlin really deserves to be from the Buda family. The Buda family started out with military exploits. When Merlin was young, he went with the army many times. Naturally, he was familiar with the matter of arranging sentries.
At this moment, suddenly a figure came flying from the mountain, shouting loudly as he ran back. Although Zhao Hai did not hear what he shouted, his heart sank. He immediately turned to Shitou and said: "Stone
, quickly go to the cave and ask all the people inside to go back to the castle immediately. Then you go find Mu Mu and the others and ask them to go back to the castle immediately. I will go find Meg and the others."
After saying that and just about to leave, Shitou grabbed Zhao Hai and said: "Master, I'll just go find him. You go back to the castle immediately. The Buda family can't live without you. If anything happens, you can go into the space right away."
."
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, and then said with a serious face: "Don't talk nonsense, I am the head of the Buda family. At this time, how can I shrink from the battle? Go quickly." After saying that, he stepped forward and left.
But Shitou quickly ran in front of him, knelt down on the ground with a plop, hugged Zhao Hai's legs and said: "Master, please go back to the castle quickly. The Buda family cannot live without you. If you live without you, then what will happen to us?"
It’s all over, Master.”
Zhao Hai looked at Shitou and knew that if he didn't agree, Shitou would not move. He knew Shitou's stubbornness. He still remembered the last time the two brothers held swords across their necks.
Clearly.
Zhao Hai could only nod and said: "Okay, then you go right away. I will go back to the castle and let everyone go to the inner castle first." Shitou responded and stood up.
At this time, the figure also ran to Zhao Hai, knelt down and said: "Master, there are many magical beasts and undead creatures coming from the other side of the mountain, and they are climbing up the mountain."
Zhao Hai immediately asked: "Is there anyone else in that shed?"
The man immediately said: "Yes, he must still be on the mountain." Zhao Hai said angrily: "You idiot, why haven't you come down yet? Shitou, go to the mountain and call that guy down." Shitou responded, immediately turned around and ran away.
.
Zhao Hai turned to look at the slave kneeling on the ground and said, "What's your name?"
The man immediately said: "To return to the master, my name is Lin."
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "You should go back to the castle immediately and find Grandma Merlin to see if she is in the castle. If she is not there, go and tell those who are weaving that everyone should go to the inner castle.
, this is my order, go quickly."
Lin responded, jumped up and ran towards the castle. Zhao Hai also knew his own body, so he couldn't run as fast as Lin, so he asked Lin to deliver the message.
Zhao Hai also started running towards the castle, but his body was really not good enough. He was already out of breath after running a few steps.
When Zhao Hai returned to the castle, he found that those who were weaving had already entered the inner castle. When he arrived at the inner castle, Merlin was standing there, and everyone looked at Zhao Hai uneasily.
When Merlin saw that Zhao Hai was back, he immediately walked to him and said, "Master, what should we do now?"
Zhao Hai took a few breaths and said: "Grandma Meilin, please count the number of people immediately and see how many people are in the yard now. I will go to the castle now and ask them to close the gate of the castle immediately after everyone returns.
"
Merlin said quickly: "Master, you should stay here to count the number of people. I'll go to the city gate." After saying that, he walked out quickly, without giving Zhao Hai a chance to object.
Zhao Hai looked at Merlin's back helplessly. Merlin and the others really took great care of him and always put him in the safest place. However, Zhao Hai also knew that now he had no means of self-protection.
It can only be this way.
He turned around and looked at the people standing in the inner fort. Except for Lin, all the people standing here were women. There were more than thirty people. Zhao Hai immediately said: "Everyone, please line up and stand in line."
As soon as they heard what Zhao Hai said, these slaves immediately stood in line, and the speed was so fast that it greatly exceeded Zhao Hai's expectations.
