Since the summer has passed halfway, everything has been on the right track, and this huge country has gradually accelerated its development according to the trajectory set by Gao Wen.

In the study room covered with velvet carpet, a cool cold wind was slowly blowing from the air outlet in the corner of the room. The sunlight before noon was very bright, making the quaint bookshelf and decorative weapon rack in the study look much brighter than before. Gao Wen sat on the chair he often sat listening to the report, while Hetty stood opposite his desk.

The desk is newly replaced, and the style is similar to before.

"This is a report on diplomatic and economic activities from the Western Frontier," Heti put the sorted documents in front of Gao Wen while briefly reporting the content. "Overall, the contact with the remaining tribes of Augure was smooth, including the elves who had been unexplained before. So far, the gray elves and human tribes who were first in contact with us have established stable commercial exchanges with the empire, and agreed to introduce magic nets and railway systems within their sphere of influence. The remaining races agreed to establish commercial channels. As for magic nets and railways... they will consider it after seeing the 'effects' of gray elves and human territory."

Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction: "The Ogure Tribe State is a loose alliance, and they are used to it themselves, so they can only deal with them step by step. At present, at least the five kings' review team has shown their willingness to be friendly, which is the biggest progress. Is there any news about the dwarf kingdom on the west coast of the mainland?"

"The dwarves are very interested in our machines, and there are gray elves to help us build bridges and lines. The negotiations have been smooth, but the land transportation between us and the dwarves is inconvenient. Not only does it have to pass through the entire Augure tribe, but there are also large forest areas and mountains. Therefore, the formal trade must be carried out at least until the North Port is put into use - take the western coastal route. Before that, the dwarves should not buy our heavy machinery on a large scale for cost reasons."

"It shouldn't be too long... The North Port is progressing very smoothly, and the Siren technical team that had been negotiated before should arrive on the North Coast in the next two days, which can speed up the construction of the ship there," Gao Wen said casually, "Is there anything else to report?"

"There's another thing," Hedy nodded, "Ms. Wenna Baizhi, the leader of the tribe of the Gray Elf, hopes to further expand the export quota of alchemy raw materials. She seems to plan to create a new economic 'signature' for the Mosswood Forest - to make the alchemy raw materials mastered by the Gray Elf an important economic pillar of the Agule Tribe."

"Gray Elf...I remember the daughter of the Wenna patriarch is now studying at Imperial College?"

Hetilo nodded as soon as he recalled: "Yes, Meli Baizhi - is a freshman this year. He entered the Magic Department through the standard international student program, with a minor in alchemy and social management."

"Full three-level practice?" Gao Wen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "It's a hardworking child... Wait, the new generation of the magical gray elf? Could it be that the last time Carmier went to give a lecture was the one who jumped out of the window..."

"It's her," Hetty's lips seemed to tremble, "Imperial College has begun to strengthen classroom management and safety guarantees around teaching facilities..."

"...Grey Elf was the first foreign race to establish good relations with the empire, and it was also the force that maintained good relations with the Moen dynasty in the Ansu era." After two seconds of silence, Gao Wen pulled the topic back on track. "They are a race that is very good at doing business, with footprints throughout the Western Continent. The gray Elf merchants are even called the "Bound of the Western Continent". We need to deal with such races - and their interest in new things will also help us promote new machines and industrial products to the western continent. We can agree to Ms. Wenna's request - but the specific amount needs to be agreed upon by the economic and industrial departments."

"I get it," Hetty nodded, "I will organize an internal meeting after I go back and give an answer to the Gray Elf as soon as possible."

Gao Wen nodded and was about to ask something, but a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the study door.

After receiving Gao Wen's response, the door of the study was opened, and an old man who looked elegant and calm and had a deep and quiet look walked in - Godwin Orlando, who was in charge of the cultural department.

Gao Wen looked up at the old scholar who had devoted himself to Cecil in the early days and made great contributions to this country. After noticing the other party's outfit, he immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise: Today, Orlando was wearing a brand new black formal suit and black trousers, a golden bracelet hanging off the pocket on his chest, his gray hair was meticulously combed, and he wore a pair of booksy gold-framed glasses, which was very different from the clothes that the old scholar was used to in his daily life.

"Your Majesty," Godwin greeted Gao Wen first, and then saw that Hetty was there, and nodded and greeted him, "Great Consul of Hetty, Ri'an."

"You have also started wearing new formal outfits?" Gao Wen asked casually with interest.

"Ah...yes, it's a try," Goldwin was about to report the situation, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Gao Wen's words. Then he looked down at his clothes, and a slightly restrained smile appeared on his face. "After all, most of the young people in the government affairs department are now, and even the old people are gradually changing their outfits. The old-style scholar robe is only worn in ritual occasions... Last week, even Pittman customized a formal dress, so I'll try it."

Then the old scholar asked with a little worry: "Doesn't my look look strange?"

"It's perfect for you," Gao Wen said with a smile, "it seems a lot more energetic - and following the trend is not a bad thing."

"That's good - I was so uncomfortable when I went out today," the old man moved his neck left and right. "Actually, it's very comfortable, but I always feel like I'm imprisoned by fabric... Fortunately, I'm getting used to it now."

While speaking, he came to Gao Wen's desk and took out a report from his own document book and handed it over: "Your Majesty, the 'Wenzhi Preservation' project has made some progress recently, and I have sorted it out into a report."

The "cultural knowledge preservation" he mentioned is the large-scale investigation and protection and summary project of Gao Wen's case file materials nationwide, including classics, legends, knowledge, history, etc. It is the abbreviation of the "National Emergency Preservation Project for Cultural Relics Books and Knowledge Heritage". Godwin Orlando is one of the main leaders of this project.

Gao Wen took the report and began to roughly scan the content above, while Godwin added some details:

"We have successfully sorted out the aristocratic genealogy from the First Dynasty to the Second Dynasty in the entire western region, and registered and sorted out the list of aristocratic people that are retained today...

“…We have found some valuable instruments in the great library of Saint Sunil, or may help us interpret some of the historical truths of the most chaotic period of the Second Ansu Dynasty…”

At the beginning, the old scholar who specialized in managing documents reported such relatively "normal" things, but soon he mentioned the content about technical recycling in the second half of the report. The details reported made Gao Wen's expression strange:

"... Last week, a working group contacted local people while sorting out local case files in Pompeii, and had an unexpected discovery in a village. Local villagers took out their "protection scroll" passed down from generation to generation and shared with us the technology of building a type II artificial intelligence logic library. Dean Jenny judged that this technology was related to Gondor Iron Man, and may help us solve the problem of automatic coordination of factory machinery...

"...Sir Vip Grant led the investigation of the collection of noble families in various places. A down-and-out Baron in the West discovered drawings of a key structure of a photovoltaic etching machine tool in his cellar. The Baron's ancestors may have been one of the extremely rare Gondor escape scholars during the Second Development period. His descendants coincidentally preserved precious technology, but because only a part of the drawings were preserved and the family heritage was interrupted, the role of these drawings was forgotten. Master Carmier believes that the photovoltaic etching technology of the Gondor era is no longer used in modern times, but some of the runes and mechanical structures on the drawings are still of reference significance...

“…A wandering swordsman from the eastern region shared with us the key technology of the light wave suppressor – he held an energy conduit that was completely failed but still had a reference internal structure. He and his family have been using this energy conduit to knock walnuts for hundreds of years, completely unaware that it was a legacy of the Gondor era. Master Carmier believes that this conduit may help us solve the heat dissipation problem of the iridescent generator.

"In addition, the Wandering Swordsman who contributed has received commendation. Given the hidden dangers of illegal possession of weapons and the tightening of the registration system of the extraordinary, the swordsman is currently receiving education and training from the local security forces. He is willing to become a local sheriff. Similar "inclusion" situations have been increasing recently in the East. Due to the gradual stability of social order and the continuous implementation of new systems, the "wild" extraordinary people who were originally difficult to control are now being in batches."

Godwin Orlando meticulously reported the key content. Even though his original major was paperwork, even though he was old, he still repeated the contents of these technical fields without any flaws. He couldn't help but stop until Gao Wen's expression was so strange that it was particularly obvious: "Your Majesty, is there any problem?"

"Uh... no, no problem," Gao Wen couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, feeling that the way "the villagers in the xx area shared xx technology with you" really made people feel an indescribable sense of incongruity. However, the existence of the Gondor Empire heritage and modern technology and the fact that culture is completely divided into dying, makes this situation seem natural. He couldn't explain the complaints to others, so he could only suffocate his heart to death in the bronchial, "Progress... good, very good."

Then he looked up at Godwin, on the one hand to divert his embarrassment, on the other hand he sighed sincerely: "It's really hard for you to organize technical things for clerks like you."

"Please don't say that - I'm not all alone," Goldwin said hurriedly. "'Literary Preservation' is the most grand, greatest and exciting job I have ever seen in my life. Countless people are working hard to protect those precious intellectual heritages to avoid them being completely lost and lost in the dust of history. There are many departments involved in this work, including both cultural and technical fields. Each part of the content is specifically controlled by professionals in the corresponding field. I am just because of my good at summarizing materials and my insignificant qualifications. I have been lucky enough to become one of the leaders of the entire project because of my expertise in summarizing materials and my insignificant qualifications... I only feel honor and glory, and there is no complaint."

Gao Wen looked at the old man's eyes, slowly showed a smile, and nodded: "That's good."

Then he lowered his head again and looked at the last part of the report.

After a few seconds, his brows suddenly frowned, and then slowly stretched, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Ancestor?" Hetty noticed Gao Wen's expression change and couldn't help but ask, "Is there any problem?"

"...The Seven Masters of Lu'an City found an ancient book in the church's collection..." Gao Wen said slowly, "It is highly suspected that the book "Modir Travels" lost by the Wilder family in the North."

"Modir's Travels?" Heti was stunned for a moment, and soon realized, "Is it the great duke of the Wilder family who was keen on traveling and exploring six hundred years ago? The one who forged the 'cold disaster' amulet?"

"It's him," Gao Wen nodded and put the report in his hand on the table. "He left behind a travel notation, but it was lost many years ago. Now it is found to be hidden in the cathedral of Lu'an City. But this is not the key, the key is... this travel notation may also be related to Amber."

Herty was shocked: "Amber? How could a travel notation left by the Duke of the North six hundred years ago have something to do with her?"

Gao Wen did not answer Herty's question immediately, but looked at Godwin first: "Has that travel notation been sent?"

"Yes, after the on-site emergency repair was done, it was delivered to the capital as soon as possible," Goldwin Orlando replied immediately, "The copy and archive have been completed. Do you need its original?"

Gao Wen nodded: "Bring it here as soon as possible."

Then he looked at Hetty again: "What is Amber doing now?"

"It should be in Office 25, and she will preside over a meeting today..."

"Let her come to me directly after the meeting," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "just say... I have something for her to show."
Chapter completed!
