Transcendent Dawn

The latest website: Forrest Kingdom, Sealand.

This is a port city with a good deep-water port, and a large number of sailing ships are moored on the pier not far away.

Two of the kingdom's five famous shipyards are located here.

Outside the city, there are a large number of trucks passing by on the roads leading to other places every day.

In a town near the city, in a certain house, a baby's loud cry suddenly came out.

Bless the mother of nature, mother and child are safe...

A black-painted craftsman in filthy work clothes was praying devoutly outside.

Immediately, he saw the village nurse walking out with a baby in her arms: It's a daughter, please give her a name.

Well... I've thought about it a long time ago. If it's a girl, it's called Jenny! Jenny Black!

...

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years have passed.

Little Jenny was different from other quiet girls. She was lively and active since she was a child. She played with the wild boys in the town and made her father Wick and mother Hylia worry about her.

Jenny's father is a craftsman. His ancestors were blacksmiths. In his generation, he went to the city to learn the craft for several years.

In addition to blacksmithing and repairing farm tools, he also builds simple machinery and even repairs clocks. He is very famous in the neighborhood and his family has a good income.

At least, hungry children can't grow so tall or run so fast.

this day.

Mrs. Hailia was walking out of the house with a basket in her hand, when she saw Little Jenny galloping over.

She ran so fast, slipping under Lady Hylia's skirt, that she almost fell over.

Jenny...

Mrs. Hailia said angrily: You should learn to be a lady. Look at other girls, there is no one like you. Even the shepherdess is more polite than you!

She rambled,

Began to worry about Jenny's future marriage.

I don't want to marry!

Jenny dressed up like a little boy, wearing a peaked cap: I will be a sailor in the future, an explorer and a captain in the future.

Because of the proximity to the sea, many men here choose to become sailors.

Not to mention, with the development of the nautical industry and the discovery of a series of islands, rumors of many sailors getting rich overnight also spread, stimulating generations of young people to run to the sea.

A woman cannot be a sailor or a captain!

Lady Hylia rolled her eyes.

Good news! Let's see what this is?

Just then Wick Black came striding back with a ham in his hand.

Oh!

Jenny's eyes lit up: Dad, shall we eat meat at night?

Yes, let's have a good meal tonight.

Wick replied with a smile, looking very happy.

Honey, what's the matter?

Hailia took the ham from her husband and asked strangely.

Even if their family is well-off in the town, ham and the like are only enjoyed during the festival.

The Sealand newspaper has published news...confirming that the Eastern Colony discovered by the great Captain Spencer is not an island, but a huge continent!

Wick hugged Jenny excitedly: It is very suitable for establishing tropical plantations, and it is a very broad market... Although the local indigenous people are not very friendly...

Natives? I heard that some natives in the colony look like monsters, and even have strange witchcraft... Is it true?

Jenny asked immediately.

Jenny!

Hylia glared at her, waiting for her husband to follow up.

So...the number of commodities that can be exported is expected to increase significantly in the future, and I have received another batch of orders for textile machines! Wick said excitedly.

Although most of the textile machines are made of wood, there is also a demand for iron parts.

What's more, it's not like he can't do carpentry.

That's something to celebrate.

A smile appeared on Hylia's face: I'm going to buy some white bread.

In any case, an increase in the husband's income is always a good thing.

Hearing this, even Jenny had a happy smile on her face.

...

A few days later, in the small workshop.

A small figure sneaked into the father's studio.

Although Mrs. Hylia once warned Jenny sternly not to disturb her father's work, Jenny obviously forgot about it.

At this time, in the small workshop, there are lathes, hammers, wrenches and other tools, which smell of oil, but in Jenny's eyes, they are like treasures.

She came to a newly completed spinning machine and tried it out curiously.

Looking at the spinning wheel, I feel very fulfilled.

Who?

Wick's voice came suddenly.

what!

Then Jenny remembered being afraid and wanted to run away.

But her body touched the spinning machine, and the machine immediately fell to the ground.

not good!

Seeing her father's figure walking in, Jenny couldn't help but feel her scalp go numb, and she was too frightened to move: I got into trouble.

Jenny, you're here again...Huh?

Wick walked in, looked at the spinning loom, and suddenly froze: It's upside down...it can also move, so...the spinning spindles can be lined up vertically, which improves efficiency even more... Ha ha ha ha!

He laughed, hugged Jenny around, and kissed her on the cheek: You are really my lucky star.

Jenny let out a long breath, as if she didn't need to be punished for this.

She thought for a while and asked, Dad Can I come to study?

You want to be a craftsman? Wick was taken aback. There are no women in the craftsman's guild...but... there is no harm in learning a craft...

He looked at the spinning machine and nodded: Okay...I allow you to learn from me.

Thank you dad!

Jenny happily kissed her father on the cheek.

...

With this idea, the new spinning machine was completed quickly and was well received by customers.

As a result, Wick got a richer salary than before, and he came back with a smile every day, and Jenny could also enter the workshop and learn the most basic crafts.

But the good times didn't last long.

Soon, a group of angry craftsmen surrounded her house one night.

This is the person!

He made that tool and put us out of work!

The angry crowd shouted and rushed into Jenny's house and smashed it.

Jenny was hugged by her weeping mother, her eyes filled with confusion.

Isn't the advancement of technology a good thing? Why...why did it become like this?

...

Early the next morning.

When she came to the door of the smashed workshop, she secretly made up her mind: It's not my father's fault...

Jenny... let's go!

Wick and Hylia packed a carriage and prepared to leave this sad place.

Father... I have decided.

Jenny suddenly said: I must definitely become a great craftsman!
