At six o'clock in the morning, as dawn dawned in the North, Lux woke up very naturally - the trip to the peak and the journey in the Shadow Realm, Lux had a biological clock like a clock, and when the time came, she would
Get up by yourself and not sleep for almost a second.
After a long yawn, Lux rubbed her eyes and glanced at Sona, who was still sleeping soundly against the piano case.
Sometimes Lux really envies Sona - not for her figure, but for her sleep quality.
A body that has not been tempered by celestial energy can enjoy a pleasant sleep, instead of having a dreamless night like Lux.
Standing up, Lux subconsciously touched the bedside, but there was no familiar sword in the familiar position. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that Kalya had been taken away by Shyvana to survey the terrain with the engineering team.
.
When winter comes this year and the seasonal river dries up, the construction team will begin to fix the canal. Before that, Kalya must come up with a complete construction plan.
No, it wasn't Kalya who gave it this time.
When surveying the terrain, Kalya will teach the leaders of the construction team by the way. They will become the first batch of professional "magic engineers" in Forsbarrow. According to Kalja, when the magic engineers reach a large scale, there will be more in the future.
There will be a special test, and those who fail the test are not eligible to join the construction team...
Shaking her head, Lux no longer thought about this, but put on her slippers and went to prepare breakfast.
Although she is the lord of Forsbarrow, Lux does not have the kind of servants in Crownguard Manor who take care of her food, clothing and daily life - during the three years in Zaun, she has long been accustomed to solving daily living problems by herself.
After arriving at Forsbarrow, after most of the mages moved into the city, she also set up Zaun's cafeteria system. Now at this time, the large cafeteria has begun to serve breakfast, so what Lux has to do
, just go to the stall in the big cafeteria and get two breakfasts.
One for me and one for Sona.
After changing into a robe and pulling her long blond hair into a ponytail, Lux walked across the street and arrived at the cafeteria.
This large dining hall was once part of the residence of Lord Forsbarrow. Judging from the decorative style and scale, it should be a hall used as a venue for dances and banquets.
Before Lacus came here, this place used to be an indoor training ground for the Third Army to recruit militiamen. After Lacus arrived, this mansion was "returned to its original owner" and became Lacus' lord's palace.
However, Lux obviously did not intend to build a manor for herself, so except for a two-story building that was set aside as her residence and office, the rest of the place had been renovated.
The garden, which was originally used as a vegetable garden for citizens to grow vegetables, has now become a training ground for private soldiers and militiamen.
The manor buildings that had been abandoned for a long time have been renovated and become the dormitories of the emperor and the barracks of the private army. Most of these buildings are made of stone. Although they have been abandoned for hundreds of years, the overall structure is still good.
It is in good condition and can be habitable as long as it is reinforced and repaired.
After such renovation, the lord's mansion, which covers a large area, is now filled with nearly two thousand people, whose number has far exceeded that of the previous lord.
However, during the previous lord's time, nobles and servants lived here, but after Lux's transformation, it was the Law Controllers and Forsbarrow's private army who lived here.
After greeting the Archon along the way, Lux quickly came to the breakfast window - compared to others, her main privilege was that she didn't have to queue, she could take the tableware back to eat, and the limited supply of food was unlimited.
Glancing at the breakfast in the breakfast window, Lux showed an expression as expected.
Limited supply of special milk, butter omelette and air-dried meat, unlimited supply of pickles and oatmeal bread, Forsbarrow's classic breakfast.
Although it seems that these things are richer than the breakfast of most Demacian civilians, in fact, considering the products of Forsbarrow, the price of these things is not expensive, and most of them are even self-sufficient production by the Archon.
.
Special milk is a specialty drink in the north. It is a drink made with animal fat and a little honey from cold bees, plus a little salt and spice powder, and brewed with hot water. It looks a lot like dairy products, but the taste is...
It's fragrant and greasy, and one cup is enough for an armed cross-country trip in the morning.
Although air-dried meat is meat, it is really hard to say what kind of meat it is - Fosbairo is not short of salt, so for meat that is not delicious to eat directly, people in Fosbairo will marinate it with heavy salt, and then
Hang to dry.
There are many varieties of pickles. In a place like Forsbarrow, where the winter is long and the ground is covered with frozen soil, at high latitudes, pickles are the best way to eat vegetables. Recently, due to the experiments of Fauquelin's group, pickles have become popular.
There are a lot of fragrant red buds in it, which makes it taste good but a bit crispy, so Lacus took a little more.
As for oatmeal bread... Ever since the start of the Freljord trade, the staple food of the Archon has been inseparable from oats. Compared with purchasing grains by category, it is obviously easier to purchase large quantities of oats directly, so the average size of the canteen is three
Among the meals, two meals must be oatmeal.
Lux herself doesn't have any preference for food. After all, she was once a ruthless person who crossed the Dashai Desert. As long as the food can be eaten, it's fine. But judging from the Archon's reaction, perhaps the issue of improving food should be put on the agenda.
Well, put this on the memo.
……………………
Taking breakfast, Lux returned to her room.
At this time, Sona had already gotten up. Lux opened the memo and added "Improve the food" on it, while calling Sona to come and have breakfast.
After making the bed, Sona took out the piano case and let it float next to her. Then she sat at the table and ate breakfast with Lux.
Even though Sona looked quiet, her appetite was quite astonishing - she drank more than half of the large jar of special milk that Lux brought back, which even an average Freljordian strong man could not drink.
Go down.
After breakfast, they simply tidied up, and the two of them were about to start today's work. Lux was going to the Chamber of Commerce to meet with Sambor, while Sona was going to the clerk training to prepare for today's course.
.
After changing into formal clothes, Lux and Sona left the bedroom on the second floor one after another. When they went downstairs, they caught up with the shift change in the security office today. Lux smiled and fought with the mage who was responsible for the security mission today.
After saying hello, Lux went straight to the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce in Forsbarrow is busy.
The Chamber of Commerce has just concluded this summer's trade trip to the capital of Demacia, selling a large number of Forsbarrow's specialties and replacing them with needed supplies.
Due to the arrival of Lux, both the goods sold and purchased by the Forsbarrow Chamber of Commerce this year are different from previous years. Therefore, even though Lux has supported many magicians, the Chamber of Commerce is still in a hurry.
"Your Excellency Laxana." When Lacus arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, Sambol had already been waiting at the gate. "Come here, the goods are being unloaded in the hall. It's very chaotic."
In the past, Sambol was quite a bit humble when facing Lux, but now, he is both respectful and afraid of this kind lord.
He sincerely respects this lord who is quite capable and thoughtful, and no longer despises or gets close to him - this is partly because of the incident with the Hunter Guild, and partly because of this trip.
What I saw and heard in Xiongdu.
Sambol, who was once not worth mentioning in the eyes of the nobles, has been doing extremely well since he came to the capital this time. There are also many housekeepers of the nobles who come to shop. They never bargain, and at most they stay.
A letter I hope to bring back to Forsbarrow.
After truly seeing this, Sambor finally had a new understanding of the lord who once pretended to be a maid, and finally understood what a model noble was. When facing Lux again, he would never dare to
Acting like an elder.
It can be said that Lux is very familiar with this kind of change. She was like this when she was in Zaun. At the beginning, she was able to joke with the Zaun people. But later, except for a few people, the other Zaun people
I saw myself looking like Sam Bol.
According to Karya, this is "something that all superiors have to go through." When you see this situation, you must be extra careful to prevent one day from becoming a person who is above the ground.
She felt helpless in her heart, but Lux still looked friendly on the surface. She followed Sambol to the side hall of the Chamber of Commerce. After exchanging a few words, she talked about the purpose of her trip.
Check accounts.
There is no need for Lux to compare the specific accounts. The chamber of commerce has already sorted it out. What Lux mainly needs to do is to refer to the accounts of this trade to make new plans for Xiongdu trade next year.
Originally, Lacus shouldn't have done this kind of work in person, but unfortunately, there was no one in Forsbarrow who could fully understand Lacus's needs, so Lacus had to compare the accounts and the nobles' letterheads herself to distinguish.
Which ones are business and which ones are favors, so as to analyze the trade situation in Xiongdu.
Looking through the thick bills, Lux missed Kalya while looking forward to the completion of clerk training - it was already a headache to stay in the office and read the documents. If these documents had to be collected and summarized by herself, then
It's even more of a headache.
After spending a whole morning, Lux finally had a clear idea of the accounts of this trade. After she completed the last stroke on her memo, she finally stood up and invited Sambol to have lunch with her.
Lunch is still in the large cafeteria, and the staple food is still the familiar oatmeal bread. The dishes are much richer than breakfast, and there is even a limited supply of barbecue - the meat roasted by the magic flame has a special taste, and Sambor also
I don’t know whether it’s out of politeness or sincerity, but I’m full of praise for this dish.
During lunch, Lux and Sambor briefly talked about the autumn trade. This was an informal meeting, and Lux was communicating with the Chamber of Commerce.
Lux roughly planned the scope of the noble trade in the autumn, and told Sambor to come up with a plan. After the follow-up of the summer trade in the capital is completed, everyone will formally meet to discuss it.
To this, Sambor naturally nodded in agreement.
To this day, he is relatively familiar with Lux's process of "make a plan first, then discuss it, then come up with a complete plan, and finally execute it". Several tasks within the Chamber of Commerce that were originally responsible for settling accounts are now also responsibilities.
To do the task of planning.
However, although there is more work, the enthusiasm for these jobs is very high, because for every plan, Lacus will give a reward. Although it is not high, it is still an income.
After lunch, Lux drank a cup of tea quietly, read through her memo, and then quickly got up again and went to the clerk training area.
This afternoon, the clerks will visit the artificial lake, and the vacated training base will be used as a special training venue for the Dharma Masters to process the Perfect Ice fragments.
The person responsible for teaching Zhenbing processing is Lux.
Originally, the main person in charge of the Zhenbing processing class was Ino, but since Ino led the team to Ningshuang Port and has not returned yet, Lux could only come over temporarily to take over the class - anyway, her theoretical knowledge of magic is solid enough.
The Zhenbing processing class has just started here, so with only simple lesson preparation, Lux can be a substitute teacher.
Those who come to take the Zhenbing processing class are all extremely talented among the Magicians. They can start to contact Zhenbing half a year after officially starting to learn magic, even if it is just a fragment of Zhenbing. Those who meet the requirements are even among the amazingly talented Magicians.
Among them, he is also a genius.
According to Karya, many of them are "not as talented as Ino."
For Forsbarrow, these magicians will serve as the first seeds to sprout. In the subsequent advanced teaching of magic, they will become teachers, thereby removing Lux and Ino from front-line teaching tasks.
Liberated - and, when the magic school is officially established in the future, they will also become the backbone of teaching.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Zhenbing processing class officially started. Before, all the magicians who participated in the study had already understood Zhenbing, and in this class, Lux's main teaching content was to let them learn to correctly control Zhenbing.
ice.
The Guardians are not of ice blood, and will suffer frostbite if they come into direct contact with Zhenbing. Therefore, if they want to control Zhenbing correctly, the Magicians need to create a reliable magic barrier between themselves and Zhenbing. In this regard,
This is exactly what Lux is good at.
With Kalya teaching by words and deeds, Lux's teaching level was pretty good, and she could pick it up easily without the need for detailed lesson plans. Then, just when she was speaking smoothly and the Archon Master was listening immersedly, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the training ground.
Door.
"Your Excellency, Count." After Lux opened the door, Sisilia lowered her voice, "Someone is here to ask for help."
"Help?" Lux asked in surprise, "Who? What are you asking for help for?"
"It's the housewife of a hunter's family. She said that her son has symptoms of being infected with the devil."
