This is not a particularly difficult technique. The second tune, the seventh section, the goddess lays bricks with her own hands "Next, we'll just have to wait until tomorrow." Seeing the brick kiln starting to burn, Hilde was in a good mood. "Sissi, you really are the oracle of Lady Athena." "Ah? Really…" Faced with her mother's praise, Hilde was a little overwhelmed. However, although Athena is most famous for her title as the goddess of wisdom and war, she is actually also the goddess of crafts. She is called Ergane Athena, which refers to Athena as the goddess of crafts. But in fact, Athena as the goddess of crafts refers more to women's handicrafts, such as weaving. The one in charge of things like iron smelting and sword forging is actually Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen and the husband of the goddess of beauty Aphrodite. However, ordinary people certainly don’t care about these. As long as you can make bricks and steel.
The people below just need to shout that Athena is awesome. That's what Hilde thought anyway. The next day, early in the morning. Hilde brought his men to the brick kiln. At this time, the workers had gathered here. Because the flames had died down and the temperature inside the cave had returned to normal, they went in and took out the bricks one by one. Some knowledgeable craftsmen couldn't help but boast about how hard and beautiful the bricks were. The bricks made according to the mold were square and although the surface was uneven, they were hard enough. The construction craftsmen could already guess how to use these bricks to build houses. “What is the bad brick rate?” At this time, Hilde asked. The excited craftsman said: "There are 4400 intact bricks in total." "...In other words, the bad brick rate is 12%, which is still acceptable." "At this rate, we can produce hundreds of thousands of bricks in a month..." the craftsman said excitedly, "Lord Hilde, you are amazing. With these bricks, we can build many buildings!" "Yes, but first, bricks must be supplied to people in the countryside first." Now that the brick problem has been solved. Then the next step is to put it into use. So Hilde found the nearest village. The quality of the buildings in the village was very poor, and they would be easily damaged by wind and rain. Therefore, Hilde ordered the craftsmen to use the baked bricks to renovate the village during this period. There were more than 100 residents here, and more than 30 dilapidated houses. It would take half a month to rebuild them all. However, because Hilde had mobilized all the construction craftsmen, the construction speed was very fast. Mixing lime and sand and adding water will make cement. Cement was used to make the adhesive, and Hilde personally taught the craftsmen how to lay bricks. But at this time, there was no tile knife.
Hilde could only find a dagger to use as a tile knife instead. As a result, everyone saw the goddess-like Hilde, who had her long silver-white hair tied up behind her head, and then stood barefoot in the construction site, holding a dagger in one hand and a brick in the other, and began to build a wall. Since the wooden house frame was still there, it only needed to change the ordinary clay wall into a brick wall, which was quite fast. Seeing Hilde laying bricks herself, the craftsmen quickly understood the production method and joined in. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Hilde has some unclear details. I gradually figured it out in the actual process. For example, using the plumb line to confirm whether the house is tilted, and drawing a straight line to determine the level of the bricks, all kinds of techniques and methods were finally figured out. After more than a day of hard work, a small house was finally built. When it was dark again, Hilde returned to the brick kiln, and after seeing the second batch of bricks being fired, he went home to rest. Inside the bathroom. Hilde was a little annoyed as to why she had to build a house today. “Ah, cement is so hard to wash!” "Xixi, you are so silly. Why do you have to do such a thing?" At this time, Sophia brought hot water and gently wiped Hilde's hands with linen. "Such perfect hands, but they are covered with dirt, as if they were tainted..." Sophia said distressedly, "It's too cruel, how could this be possible!" "It's okay... If I don't do it, they won't do it either." Hilde said with a wry smile. "Okay, just wash it clean." "Yes...let me help you." Sophia's movements were still very gentle, and her soft technique made Hilde relax. "How's Dione?" "According to your instructions, I am now looking for a servant to teach her how to read and write." "That's good...she still didn't say anything?" "No... This child is not from this tribe, but where exactly he came from, maybe only the chief himself knows." Sophia gently rubbed the cement off Hilde's hands, then raised her head and asked, "But the child is not afraid of you now. You have been away all day, and she is worried about you." The second tune, the eighth section: The power of love makes people strong Hearing this, Hilde was a little surprised. "Worried about me? About the kid?" "Yes, don't you believe it?" "That's not the case. I'm just a little surprised." Seeing that Hilde was also a little surprised, Sophia couldn't help but laugh. After all, Hilde, who is always calm and composed, would actually show such an expression.
"This child actually has no bad intentions. She was just too scared of you at first, but later she realized that you are actually a very gentle master, so she naturally let down her guard." Sophia smiled slightly, and then gently applied the essential oil made from flowers on Hilde's skin. "After that, when this child is really relieved, I will teach her how to serve you and how to be an excellent slave. Leave her affairs to me. What do you think?" "Um……" At this time, Hilde couldn't help but think of one thing. "There is something I have been thinking about for a long time." "You say." "I want to give you your freedom." Hilde felt that Sophia had always been a slave, and this identity was not good, especially since she was so kind to him. Hilde regarded her as the person he loved the most, so if he could restore her status as a free citizen, it would be a way for him to repay her. However, Hilde did not consider what it meant when she said this. "Sissi...you don't want me anymore?" At this time, Sophia's movements had completely stopped. Her voice trembled slightly, as if she had experienced something very painful. "I...did I do something wrong, Sissi, Master, please don't abandon me..." "Ah? No... Listen to my explanation first." Hilde realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he turned around and grabbed Sophia's hands. At this time, Sophia burst into tears, and her tearful eyes made people feel very distressed. So Hilde took a deep breath and said, "It's like this, Sophia, it's not that I don't want you, but... I think the identity of a slave is not good. Although you have always been by my side, you are a slave, and there will always be people who look down on you and even intend to hurt you. But if you are a freeman, it will be different." "Master! I don't want to be a free man!" At this time, Sophia suddenly hugged Hilde in her arms. "I have been yours all my life, and I don't need any freedom." "Sophia, listen to me..." "I don't want to listen! I don't want to listen..." For some reason, the fear in Sophia's heart was constantly being transmitted to Hilde's heart. Sophia was afraid. She was really scared...and Hilde roughly understood the reason. The current slave status is perhaps the closest connection between Sophia and Hilde. If Sophia becomes a free citizen, then the special identity relationship between the two, that is, the relationship between master and slave, will disappear. For Sophia, Hilde is a high and unattainable existence. If she is not even her slave, then Sophia is really afraid that she will never catch up with Hilde, the sun. "Okay..." Hilde, who understood what Sophia was thinking, gently stroked her hair. "Really? If you hold me like this, won't my clothes get wet?" "It's fine!" "It's not that I don't want you. I just want you to be a free citizen with your head held high in front of outsiders, and you will be mine forever in front of me... Isn't that good?" Hilde looked at Sophia's delicate face and dark red hair, and felt a warm current in his heart. The feeling of being deeply relied on and loved by someone is really comfortable. Spanning Hilde's past and present life. Forty years.
This made Hilde understand a truth. Human strength does not come from independence, but from love. Hilde's predecessor, his parents didn't care about him, he made his own way, no one loved him, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on working and living in this world. At that time, he felt that he was already very powerful, and he was stronger than those ordinary people... But now, Hilde felt Aspasia's almost doting motherhood, Sofia's desperate persistence, and the slaves at home, who respected and loved Hilde. In such an environment. Only then did Hilde realize that only when one is loved can one become strong. So Hilde reached out and patted Sophia gently on the back. "It's okay. I'll never leave." "Owner……" "Also, I've told you so many times, just call me Sissi." "Yes, Xixi...I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now." "It's okay. I understand what you mean. If you don't want to, forget it. Just pretend I never said anything." Hilde said this and gently held Sophia's face. At this time, Hilde's heartbeat also accelerated. The second chapter, the ninth chapter, the first confession in life What does Sophia mean to me? Food? Toys? Minions? Pets? At this time, her heartbeat suddenly gave Hilde another idea. After coming to this world, she started her second life as a woman, but in fact, Hilde's past male thinking was at work, making it impossible for her to fall in love with any other man. At the same time, women's bodies are not as straightforward as men's. Facing the maids around her, Hilde had evil thoughts, but she was not clearly moved. This may be the difference between men and women. But it's different now. Looking at Sophia who was in sorrow because he wanted to give her freedom. Now, she seemed to have found a little bit of what it felt like to be a woman and have sex with someone else. "Sophia..." At this time, Hilde gently put his lips close to her ear. "Remember to wash it clean later." "Xixi..." Sophia was a little unresponsive. "Didn't you just eat two days ago?" "No, not eating this time." Hilde gave a mysterious smile, stood up, grabbed the bathrobe beside her and walked out of the bathroom. Hilde returned to her room, not knowing whether her decision was right. She was actually quite scared. Entering that stage as a woman and tasting a feeling she had never known was indeed a challenge for Hilde. However, she also had something to confirm. Therefore, Hilde looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was very nervous.
“…It smells so good.” Hilde smelled herself. She didn't seem to care much about her body odor before. However, now I know why Sophia and the others always praise me for my good smell. After taking a bath, Hilde not only smells like flower essential oils, but also like milk. At the same time, Hilde can feel her heart beating uncontrollably. That feeling makes her breathless and dizzy.
