With Hamel's help, the original village site in Resgorod was the first to be purified.
Although the black snow destroyed everything, it also brought about an opportunity for destruction and reconstruction.
Yun Wei still remembers the cheers that erupted when the first small wooden house with the concept of a "roof" appeared.
A wu ling is a partition in a house.
With roofs, the embarrassing situation of having to bend down to enter a house only to find it bare and empty will no longer occur. The functions of the house can be divided, and people will have private space and dignity.
In the construction of houses, Joseph, a carpenter by trade and from the Alchemy City, was an absolute expert. And in the orientation and layout of houses, Qin Lushu, a master of wind and qi analysis, was the undisputed authority.
They spent a full week replanning and reserving space for the entire town's layout.
He had finished his morning exercise and was walking with Isaac toward the village.
"How do you think they were willing to squeeze into such a narrow and low shack?" Yun Wei was still quite curious about the shacks where the people had previously lived. "Wouldn't it be awkward for everyone to be crammed into one bed?"
“Perhaps doing it that way would slow down the heat loss,” Isaac thought for a moment and replied seriously. “For them, who have nothing, fuel is a very precious resource. Larger houses are spacious, but they would be very cold in winter and at night.”
When survival itself is uncertain, everything else will give way to the struggle for survival.
Yun Wei felt as if he had been unexpectedly stabbed again, but he shook his head vigorously. "If Hamel hadn't stopped me, I would have liked to help them chop some more wood."
“However, the land here is too cold and hard, with little clay, so we don’t have the conditions to make bricks,” Isaac warned. “If they want to live in brick houses in the future, they’ll probably have to send people to the southern territories to buy them.”
"Oh, right." Yun Wei nodded subconsciously, then suddenly came to his senses. "That's probably decades from now. You're thinking too far ahead!"
Besides, by then, Reston certainly won't be running a deficit.
So what if he buys it? At worst, he can just go to the far north and wreak havoc on the locusts!
After all, necromancers are masters at scraping the ground!
Isaac laughed. "Let's talk about something more recent. You think Grandmother would send someone to notify us of a meeting? It's been almost half a month, the messenger should have arrived by now."
"Probably, after all, it was a disaster for the entire continent. Although the Lord of the Abyss is targeting me this time, other territories might not be so lucky." Yun Wei frowned as he said this.
As they chatted, Resgorod appeared before them.
After that unforgettable black snowfall, several normal heavy snowfalls followed.
His hardworking people couldn't stay idle, so they took advantage of the winter when they had nothing to do and turned over the permafrost outside the settlement again.
Looking into the distance, in a world of white, the turned soil appears black.
This is auspicious black, a black that breeds vitality and hope.
When spring arrives, the villagers will carry out crop rotation and sowing in an orderly manner.
The Tower of a Thousand Laws stands in the middle of the field, where a large area has been cleared out. Yun Wei listened to Qin Lushu's advice and reserved that area as a celebration square.
When Hamel's song ended that day, O'Vaux had grown into a normal-sized, luminous oak tree, becoming a spiritual anchor for all the people.
"Grow peacefully for another three hundred years, and Mr. Vox will be of age!" That's what the wood elf told him, subtly showing off the long lifespan of the elven race.
As for the monastery land that had been seized, Hildergard didn't care at all—
“May the Lord of Glory protect us! Mr. Yunwei, my monastery must be adjacent to the fields. Everyone must work! Believe me, only through sacred labor can we be enlightened.”
Yun Wei then remembered that ascetic monks seemed to be accustomed to a strict lifestyle of farming and studying, so he agreed to her request.
Next spring, they will build a beautiful wooden monastery next to the Tower of a Thousand Laws, which will also serve as a classroom for the children.
Given Hildegard's insistence that children spend at least half of their time each day engaging in practical work in the land and villages, the original three-day week of classes was increased to four days.
The course content consisted of mathematics and literacy taught by Hildergard.
After a frank conversation that was enough to shake the ascetic's resolve, he finally persuaded Hildegard to abandon her insistence on offering theological courses in Reston.
Actually, he didn't say much.
He simply told the other party that the Lord of Light would, with Allen's help, re-examine the currently imperfect doctrines.
And the fact that, to date, the divinity of Dilis is not yet complete.
Perhaps only God knows how Hildegard suddenly rallied and reaffirmed her faith after hearing these words.
The female monk immediately made the sign of the cross. "So that's it! The Lord of Light protects me! I always thought I was at risk of falling into the abyss, but it seems those bad guys are indeed more dangerous!"
The bad guys they were talking about must be the rivals from Upper Lafra Monastery.
Yun Wei had also considered whether to simply follow his previous life and have a five-day week.
However, he then realized that there were no exams in the Zhuyuan Continent, and the current course schedule of four days a week was sufficient.
But shortly after he made up his mind, things took another turn for the better.
Having heard about this, his other companions also became restless and eager to join in.
It all started with the most outgoing wood elf.
Hamel offered to teach the children magic.
As the world has evolved, many children in the territory have indeed experienced a change in their affinity for the elements.
Yun Wei thought for a moment and decided to have him attend a class once every two weeks, starting with the basic spells Isaac had learned as a child.
He always carried with him the book "The Apprentice's Guide to Magic," the first book his husband had lent him. He had once lent it to Joseph, but the latter had copied it and quickly returned it to him.
In a world with such low productivity, magic is practically an overpowered, cheat-like existence—
Perhaps it was precisely because of the existence of magic that the world's technology stagnated before the widespread application of alchemy.
In any case, in Yun Wei's view, the Zhuyuan Continent was originally a magical world, so learning magic was a matter of course and quite natural.
He was also pleased to see that mystery brought people a turning point in their lives.
Then, things spiraled out of control.
Hamel had just happily taken his leave in the morning when Joseph and Qin Lushu came knocking on his door in the afternoon.
This future master, who had already begun to stand on his own, offered to teach handicrafts, which was a way for Reston to keep an eye out for children with talent in crafts.
Qin Lushu, however, believed that etiquette and moral education were equally indispensable. He was also quite interested in teaching the culture of Bili City if necessary.
At that moment, Hamel, who was passing by outside the window, twitched his ears, pushed open the door, and swaggered in, saying, "I forgot to mention this morning, there's also music and the art of forest survival! My great lord, please give us your orders."
"As for manpower? Oh, please don't worry about me, I'm already free. Besides, I've already communicated with my people who were lost on the mainland, and they will gradually move here." The other person clearly had a talent for talking to himself.
Yun Wei opened his mouth, "Wait, if that's the case..."
Shouldn't the children be divided into grades or something?
After all, his and Bushirdegard's original idea was to put children aged six to fourteen together in one large class.
Of course, if the age is close to this range and the other party also wants to participate in this experiment, they will be welcome.
But according to his subordinates and partners' ideas, things suddenly became complicated.
Looking at those pairs of interested eyes, Yun Wei was completely dumbfounded.
She could only look to her husband for help.
Isaac, who had been quietly tending to the mithril sword, received his gaze with unspoken understanding.
Before he could even catch his breath, the other party suddenly suggested that systematic physical and mental training would be of great benefit to everyone's future.
Yun Wei: "..."
That makes perfect sense; he had absolutely no room for rebuttal.
And so, Yun Wei's spur-of-the-moment idea a few months ago eventually evolved into a well-developed and respectable prototype of primary education.
The schedule they jointly drafted is quite flexible. At this stage, it mainly depends on the schedules of the part-time teachers, and adjustments can be made a week in advance.
Thinking about what had happened before, Yun Wei continued walking. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh. "Sigh, I suddenly really want to go to school."
He couldn't help but look at the knight beside him.
Isaac turned around at the same time, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong, Yun? Why did you suddenly say that?"
Yun Wei curled his lips indifferently, unable to explain it himself. "I don't know, I just suddenly started to envy those kids. I'm not like you, I didn't even finish junior high school."
Yes, he is Grand Duke of Icebird, Earl of Reston, and Level 10 Initial-Tier Archmage Yun Wei.
Wei, also a survivor of the nine-year compulsory education system.
This is a regret that will forever remain in his heart.
Yun Wei silently shed tears.
Perhaps because he's been having more and more hope for the future lately, he's had time to reminisce about the past.
“Then if there’s a chance, I’ll go with you.” Isaac had no idea what junior high school was; he was just reminiscing about the days they spent studying at Lunagal. “Once everything is settled, we can go back to Lunagal for classes. Leave it to me; I’ll ask my grandmother for a royal permission.”
Just as Yun Wei was about to agree, he suddenly saw Koro, who was looking around in the distance, running towards them.
"Master!" The other person ran up to them quickly, but looked out of breath.
Yun Wei's heart skipped a beat, but then he remembered that at least the other party hadn't followed up with "Something terrible has happened," so he felt a little relieved.
So he asked gently, "What happened, Coro? Don't rush, tell me slowly."
The lean man in front of him glanced at him, then at Isaac, and finally stammered, "Quick, come back to the village with me! People from the palace have arrived! Lord Robert is entertaining them!"
