This seems like the time of steel.
The world that as if overnight, the person on this lands is familiar with had the tremendous changes.
Last year people were still crossing for several hundred years the unrelieved day, the civilians' practical training in the soils, the early rising rested at sundown, the knights progressed to inspect around the castle, the military might was spiritedly powerful, aristocrat Lord and wives day and night feasting in castle, but in the tavern in countryside is flooding about the black the old wives'tales of magic, sorcerer, magic creature and warrior, people are living in oneself position routinely, a century ago was this, two centuries ago this.
However suddenly one day, an aristocrat Lords soldier went to battle, the military might spirited knights dressed up leave Feudal Territory neatly, aristocrat Lords also left the castle, enormous and powerful army, with capturing the grain and colorful flag walked- old people said that such matter person association/will met for a lifetime several times, the gone to battle knight passes one year or so to bring the big pile of gold and silver and slaves in groups returns to Feudal Territory, the knight who however these went to battle with did not come back again, the aristocrat in these castle has not come back.
The old people have not met such matter.
In the castle came the new master, Feudal Lord to be abolished, the Feudal Lord law was also abolished, brand-new and powerful Feudal Lord was entire Southern Region formulates the new custom, the government affairs hall replaced Feudal Lord and adviser, the clerk replaced the collecting taxes person and steward, the whole world rule big change, changed soul-stirring.
Again then, the time of steel approached- last week newspaper described.
Lives in Horsman peripheral village Sam in thought that this described very appropriately, that really worthily was the noun that the cultural worker can want to come out.
morning sun of initial rise scatters the water vapor that the night saved, the first month of summer neat mornings of north state, the neither cold nor hot temperature makes people completely relaxed. Sam comes out from the family/home, the body wears the hemp cotton garment that last year just bought, the waist hangs the canteen, on the foot is wearing the shoes, in the hand takes, because does not have to have the breakfast to prepare with enough time in the pancake that on the road eats, toward „farm machinery administrative office” the courtyard walks.
In the village has 17 named Sam, without the country folk of culture cannot find out other name mostly, is not Sam is George, either is John and Tom, but since last year had the night school, everyone's many knew several characters, then ten named Sam changed the name to oneself, but this does not include him.
He does not like oneself name, but thought this name was called half a lifetime, really has been used.
He changed a name to oneself son Tom, calling Pargny, the teacher of night school saying that this word was the demon leads an term in industry, the meaning was „power”- he thought that the son was oneself power.
The courtyard of farm machinery administrative office in front.
Sam sped up the footsteps, the mood becomes a little anticipates.
The agricultural use machinery is the government affairs hall brings, measures the bill to be the same with the farming assignment, is the new things of new Feudal Lord promotion. Just studied the farmers of several characters as one in the night school, Sam did not understand that the principles of these machineries, like him do not understand why Feudal Lord must migrate the people in remote village to Horsman and surrounding villages and small towns, but this does not hinder him to make clear a matter: The agricultural use machinery is a good thing.
The machine strength that these rumble make noise is big, can arrive at several people to add several good strengths, had them, in addition cheap Druid potion, and plans to measure to conform in the together land, this year the grain crop, is simply incredible.
The front door of farm machinery administrative office is opening wide, Sam walked cautiously, he first about looked at one, had not seen the person who arrive at early, then he then saw machine that steel builds- it calmly is stopping in the courtyard.
It has the firm line, as if a iron big box, the both sides have the wheel of platoon and bind the strap outside wheel, but front machine, is a mechanism that has a group of tooth, chain and drum frame.
Young people are bustling about around that lead grey machine, seems like that behind the inspection machine for the straw pack connection of mechanism ejects, he sees Sam, then raised the hand referred to a small room in not far away: „Goes to that to register, my one will prepare.”
Sam hurries to nod to the young people, enters that hut in institute quickly.
A government affairs office clerk of wear white shirt sits in the hut, is reading a newspaper, before Sam arrives at the table, saw that in the newspaper is printing the title of black overstriking, reluctantly after the identification, he understood that is any content: «Pioneer Line to Carroll Area- Residential Coast Cheering»
In nearby plate, he sees one line of words slightly small titles: «Breaks to pieces Shiling Banditry To subside, Abandons Oath Knight Total Seven People To accept Offering amnesty».
„Recognizes the character?”
The table following clerk raised the head, is saying while looks to stand in the present farmer- this was a typical farmer, bent the waist humpbacked, dark, the hands and feet was thick, the wrinkle climbed up the face early, he seemed like an old person, but should just arrive at the middle age.
Sam awakens terrified, hurries to nod: „, Recognizes, recognizes...... is unfair to Lord, I am......”
„All right, recognizing the character is the good deed, knows some characters, in the future can see more knowledge from the book,” clerk smiled, „so should not be anxious, I am not aristocrat- I am like you, is the civilians.”
„Yeah,” Sam still a little nodded flustered, the gentlemen and ladies in government affairs hall are the kind good people, at least is much kinder than the beforehand tax collector and steward, but he, when subconsciously will still be anxious facing these people, „I...... I am borrow the harvester and tractor, my three days of front numbers.”
Is saying, he while puts out was putting personal the paper, that is three days ago he in the number that in this courtyard attains, since possession, in three days of time he does not dare to place to be away from oneself over one meter place the paper: A here only harvester and a tractor, moved a short time ago from Horsman, this type of emergying machine leads the car(riage) to be equally precious on and demon, uses its opportunity similarly preciously......
The government affairs hall sent to manage the clerk of farm machinery to look at content on a paper, contrasted with registration book on hand, nods: „Sam- has your name and resident number. Rents for quite a while, west the harvesting road the place of second area.”
„Yes, yes,” Sam nods again and again, „the second area, the second area.”
„Your certificate, the mechanic gentleman in the courtyard, you should see a moment ago, gives him to be good directly. The tractor went to the town/subdues to draw the goods, one will come back, I made the mechanic gentleman look for you,” put on the clerk of white shirt to put out an seal the card of character to give Sam from the table, „other, did not need to give the reward, your family was the activist who the first batch of response lands replaced, the reward of mechanic gentleman has paid on another's behalf by the government affairs hall.”
„Thanks, thanks.”
Sam received the certificate, expressed gratitude again and again, then left the room quickly.
Be responsible for managing the clerk of farm machinery to look that simple farmer goes out, this lowers the head, is reading the registration book in hand.
Names are arranging on that making him unable to bear smile.
When the first tractor was transported Horsman, that when makes noise, strength to be huge, the military might style machine ran away in fear half of inevitable crowds, leads the car(riage) to enter the city and first water pump like the first demon starting, caused a big confusion.
But such short time, some so many people borrowed the harvester and tractor.
This should give credit to several times of machines of government affairs hall organization demonstrated a while ago, before the people, the government affairs hall demonstrated to people the agricultural use machine can have the major role, this gave up everyone's doubt, after all regarding the farmer, can get in the grain, exceeds all.
The harvester is a new thing, after the demon leads the car(riage) appears appears, it is said the demon of Cecil city leads the technicians after making the demon leads the car(riage) first to conduct the research of agricultural use machinery, studied from the fall of last year in the spring of this year, makes a series of inconceivable machines.
No matter presents any new technology product, will first apply in the military to assure the homeland security, then does everything possible to be used in the folk to guaranteeing the people abundant, but the upper layer leads a life of comfort placed all final of application forever, this is Cecil and other place most different places.
Since the clerks have reorganized for a week to rent the record of harvester, sighed that is bewitched to lead rapid of industrial new gadget development, is also sighing the harvest of this year.
Since the new deal has implemented, Horsman transforms the most rapid and thorough area, with the efforts of Darose pretor, the government affairs hall uses the successful experience of Cecil on this lands, the fact showed that this borrows fruitfully, particularly in agricultural sector.
Massive remote village's peasant households migrated the city peripheral and in several key satelite towns, the land of some old aristocrat paddies and knight manor was measured and assigned, became the new immigration contracted land. The dependence provides the grain to plant and sell Druid potion with low price and conducts unified agronomy training, in addition appropriate rewards and punishment measure, originally scattered in disorder disorderly traditional cultivation rapidly by the Cecil type „plan agriculture” replaces, but now, all these results arrive in front of people-
Harvest that can foresee.
In the courtyard, Sam gave the card the mechanic gentleman who is responsible for controlling the machine, digs up machine one side arm rest to crawl to the mechanic gentleman nearby seat on later, deeply inspires, wants to return to normal the somewhat nervousness.
He looked down shoes on the foot, confirmed that it did not have, when climbed up the caterpillar band and footboard damages, this relaxes.
This is his recent first pair of new shoes.
The machine started, driven by mana, „belly that” its steel builds in transmits the sound that components revolve, when it just vibrated, Sam grasped arm rest on hand subconsciously, in the palm had perspiration, but when this machine rolled by the courtyard front door steadily, the heart that his thump thump jumped is steady.
Outside he sees is the land of stretching as far as eye can see, the land of waiting cultivation, including the same place, is own.
This can make him tranquil compared with anything.
Sam sits on this machine monster, looks that the mechanic gentleman is controlling these tension bars, footboards and steering wheel adeptly, with some him looked that not the clear technique directs this serious steel divine creative force to go forward, suddenly a little envies.
He does not know do oneself have the opportunity to trace these tension bars and footboards personally, he thought that did not have the opportunity mostly, oneself were old, really could not learn such complex thing, but Pargny...... he was young, he could good.
The child studied the lots in the school, he is the entire family in history most intelligent child, making him continue to study to get down, perhaps he can also become „mechanic gentleman”- the smart person of special control machine.
The machine that the steel builds drives toward the wilderness.
Dresses up the armor, bluffed and blustered the knights who not to have in the villages, aristocrat Lords that in the castle feasted all day did not have, in the tavern in countryside, the that group of people of discussion black magic and sorcerer have learned to take the newspaper to appraise now loudly, but Sam......
Sam sits on machine that in moveing to oneself plants crops, is feeling under the body the vibration and strength of steel.
This probably is so-called „the time of steel”.
......
Cecil city, mechanical mill- in farm machinery I workshops, Gawain looks that at present that is rough and crude, the colossus that but floods the trying feeling of quantity, is filled with emotion.
This thing...... was really made finally in the assembly workshop of tractor.
A white knight from Holy Light church is praying for this colossus: „...... Holy Light blessed its bogie and caterpillar band, wishing it never to tilt, blesses its gun tube, hoping it never overheated, blesses its engine, hope it forever powerfully......”
In white knight reverent( probably), but serious( really) in the pray sound, young knight Philip went forward to knock the outer covering of that steel chariot, is feeling ice-cold and hardness of metal, this knight turned the head, on the face brought a smile: „Sir, I think that I understood finally you said ‚the time of steel’ was any meaning- said like you, this truly was the time of steel.”
