Cleaning up an abandoned, gravel-filled mine is no easy task.
But if there is a magician with amazing magic power to help, and a senior dustman who has participated in the construction of Shurima City to give secret guidance, then the work will undoubtedly be much easier.
After a simple run-in, this "mining team" consisting of twenty people quickly completed the internal division of labor extremely smoothly.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the problem of gravel cleaning. The miners here are all professionals.
As for the stones accumulated in the blockage of the mine, a group of miners first discussed how many stones should be squeezed out with ice in a large area, and then discussed the magic effects with Ino. Kalya helped build the spell model, and then the
The epiphytic magic directly causes the ice cubes to grow and expand within the gaps between the stones, forcing the stones to push apart and clear a path.
The whole process was communicated and planned by Benso and Kalya, and the overall process went extremely smoothly - with the help of Kalya, Ino used various methods of magic to successfully squeeze away the most important stone.
, attracted all the miners to look at this little girl with admiration.
They never expected that this little girl who looked gentle and quiet would be unambiguous in her work. As long as she had enough magic power, no blockage could stop her. As long as she could make a request, she could solve it.
question!
On the other side, Lux and the four children are not idle either - although they will not be directly involved in the mining work, they still have things to do within their capabilities.
In order to ensure that Ino can always produce enough ice, and to help Ino conserve magic power as much as possible, the five of them need to carry buckets to a relatively clean water collection point a few miles away and fill them up with water.
At the beginning, Vi was not very willing to listen to Lux's command, but fortunately Lux had figured out Vi's character.
Facing the awkward Wei, Lux simply chose to fight: "You are not afraid that you can't beat me in carrying water, so you don't want to embarrass yourself, right?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Wei raised her eyebrows when she heard Lux say this, "I'm afraid you were still nursing when I helped Fander carry water and catch the Demon Marsh Frog!"
And as Vi picked up the bucket angrily, Milo and Craig could only shrug, and then each picked up the bucket - even Blast also picked up a small bucket specially bought by Lux, and followed suit.
Followed behind Wei.
"Wait for me!"
"Bangbao, don't fall. It won't be good if you delay Wei."
"...Don't laugh, Milo, look at Craig, he can pick four barrels at a time!"
"..."
"..."
When the first day of work was over, the "mining team" who had been busy all day were surprised to find that they had actually cleared a distance of more than 200 meters in this abandoned mine - even if
This is just cleaning up the mines, not digging them. This data can be said to be quite astonishing.
"Did you really do this?" After walking out of the mine carrying a bucket, Wei turned her head and looked in disbelief at the dark mine with no bottom at a glance, "It only took one day?"
"We did it." Lux patted her shoulder, "You also had a hand in it... But it's a pity that I carried two more buckets of water than you did today."
"...That's because your water-carrying tool is different from mine!" Wei hesitated for a moment, blinked, and forced out a reason, "If you don't agree, let's have a good competition tomorrow!"
"You are the one who is dissatisfied, right?" Lux heard this and shook her head with a smile, "Okay, let's go quickly and go back to rest early. I hope you won't have back pain when you wake up tomorrow morning -"
"Who are you looking down on?" Wei curled her lips, then stretched out her hand to hold Bao Bao, "Bang Bao, let's go, help me design a more useful gadget tonight, and show her how awesome it is tomorrow!"
"Yeah!" Bao Bao, who had carried a lot of water in a small bucket today, wiped his face and made a face at Lux, "No problem - Wei will definitely win tomorrow!"
……………………
Back at Fulgen's Tavern, Lux lay quietly on the bed after taking a bath.
Beside her, Ino, who had consumed too much mana, had fallen asleep in a daze - although she was using the magic circuits designed by Kalya today, the precise control of these spells still consumed a lot of her energy.
After returning to Forgan's Tavern, she simply washed up and then fell down on the pillow.
However, Lux, who had been carrying water all day, couldn't sleep no matter what.
On the one hand, this level of exercise is not a problem for Lux, but on the other hand, she always feels like there are some things she can't figure out.
Lux always felt that she had seen something very strange, but after much thought, she could not figure out what was strange.
In this case, she simply grabbed her sword and asked about Kalya.
"Something strange?" Faced with this question, Kalya was also stunned for a moment, "What strange thing?"
"It just feels... different." Lux couldn't quite describe her feelings, "Do you remember Finn's factory? It was all a day's work, but I always feel that today's miners are just like this factory.
The workers here are different.”
"Of course it's different." After hearing what Lux said, Kalya said happily, "The attributes, intensity, rewards and sense of accomplishment of the work are all different."
"Are you saying that today's miners are so happy because of the gold hex I gave them?" Lux was still a little puzzled, "But when they paid their wages today, they were all surprised. I can
It can be seen that they actually didn’t know how much I would pay before, but they were still very energetic when working.”
"So it's not just a matter of remuneration." Kalya's tone became a little incomprehensible, mixed with some emotions that Lux couldn't understand, "Actually, labor will make people tired, but it may not make people painful."
"..."
"Do you still remember when I taught you magic?" Kalya continued, "In the beginning, even if you tried to concentrate on it, you still couldn't help but slip away, and even flipped through the "Encyclopedia of Etiquette", but when
After I demonstrated magic to you, your attitude towards learning has improved a lot - and after meeting Sona, you have worked much harder than before."
"Well... that's probably because I've grown up." Lux felt somewhat embarrassed when talking about this topic, "People have to grow up."
"That's just one aspect." Kalya did not continue to say more on this issue, "The main thing is that you see the results - the sense of accomplishment is a very important part of labor."
"Is this so..."
"In addition to the sense of accomplishment, the purpose of labor is also very important..."
“The purpose of labor?”
"That's why you work..."
"I'm here to dig out Calican's laboratory and change this hell on earth - but those workers?"
"To support the family, and to repay Fander's help."
"But aren't those people at Fenn Factory the same?"
"No, it's completely different. They are overworked and the remuneration cannot support their families..."
