章 6: Chapter 6: Dawn of New day
As the morning light gently spilled into the room, Oliver awoke from his slumber, feeling a familiar surge of energy. Unfazed by the usual expectations surrounding his physical activity, he followed his old habit and prepared for an exercise session.
The sight of their young lord engaging in physical exertion surprised and puzzled the servants. They were well aware of Oliver's preference for a more leisurely lifestyle, making his newfound enthusiasm a captivating sight.
Without hesitation, Oliver made his way to the courtyard, where he began his workout routine. The sound of his footsteps echoed through the stillness as he stretched his muscles, performed push-ups, and embarked on brisk jogs. The courtyard came alive with the rhythm of his breathing and the determined thud of his footsteps.
After an invigorating session, Oliver headed towards the bathing chamber, a humble space devoid of modern amenities. Stone walls enclosed the room, and a large wooden tub sat in the center, filled with water warmed by a nearby fireplace. Oliver poured a fragrant mixture of herbs and oils into the tub, creating a soothing concoction that was reminiscent of bathing materials used in medieval times.
The bathing ritual was a meticulous affair. Oliver immersed himself in the warm water, the natural fragrance of herbs enveloping his senses. He used a coarse cloth to cleanse his body, working diligently to remove the grime of the previous day. Without the convenience of modern soap, he relied on the herbal mixture to cleanse and rejuvenate his skin.
Dressing himself in the attire of the day, Oliver prepared to face the world beyond his chamber. It was at this moment that Emily, a young maid of gentle disposition, entered the room. With a touch of laziness, she assisted Oliver in selecting his clothes, ensuring that each piece fit perfectly. Her nimble fingers deftly fastened buttons and tied laces, adding an air of calm amidst the morning rush.
Within the span of a couple of hours, Oliver completed his exercise routine, indulged in a refreshing herbal bath, and dressed himself under Emily's watchful eye. As he stepped out of the chamber, the subtle scent of herbs lingering in the air, he embraced the start of a new day, ready to face the challenges and adventures that lay ahead.
With a mind brimming with ideas, Oliver focused on formulating a blueprint for his primary invention ideas, each designed to propel his fief into an era of industrial advancement. He meticulously crafted his plans, considering the needs of his people and the potential for economic growth.
After careful deliberation, Oliver settled on a groundbreaking invention that he believed would revolutionize his fief and bring prosperity to its inhabitants—the establishment of a steel production facility. Oliver envisioned a smelting operation that would harness the power of high-temperature furnaces to convert iron ore into steel, a versatile and highly sought-after material.
Steel, with its superior strength, durability, and flexibility, had the potential to revolutionize various industries, including construction, weapon forging, and tool manufacturing. Oliver saw it as the cornerstone for transforming his fief into an industrial hub, attracting skilled workers, artisans, and merchants from near and far.
The first blueprint focused on the establishment of a steel production facility, which Oliver believed would revolutionize their fief. The second blueprint, equally ambitious, centered around harnessing the power of water for various applications.
Oliver envisioned a network of watermills strategically placed along rivers and streams, leveraging the force of flowing water to drive machinery. These watermills would be capable of powering different industries, such as grain mills for flour production, textile mills for weaving and spinning, and sawmills for lumber processing.
By utilizing the natural force of water, Oliver aimed to increase productivity, reduce labor-intensive tasks, and improve the overall efficiency of these industries. This innovative approach would not only enhance the quality and quantity of goods produced but also open up opportunities for trade and economic growth.
To find Map of barony he started walking to library. As Oliver entered the library, his eyes scanned the room, searching for someone who could assist him in his quest. His gaze settled upon an elderly man with silver-gray hair and kind eyes, diligently arranging books on a nearby shelf. This was Alfred, the loyal librarian who had served the Carroway family for decades.
Oliver approached Alfred with a polite smile. "Good morning, Alfred. I hope you're well today."
Alfred looked up, returning the smile. "Ah, young master Oliver. A pleasure to see you. How may I be of service?"
Oliver's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I'm in search of a specific map. It's the one depicting our barony's territory. I believe it holds crucial information for a project I'm working on."
Alfred's face lit up with understanding. "Ah, the map you seek is indeed a valuable resource. I recall its location. Follow me, young master."
Oliver followed Alfred through the maze of shelves, their footsteps muffled by the plush carpet beneath their feet. They arrived at a section dedicated to historical records and cartography. Alfred carefully retrieved a worn leather-bound volume, its pages filled with meticulously drawn maps and intricate details.
Gently flipping through the pages, Alfred paused, his finger tracing the edges of a particular map. "Here we are, young master Oliver. This is the map you're seeking."
Oliver's eyes widened with anticipation as he leaned in closer. "Thank you, Alfred. You're a true treasure to this library."
Alfred's smile deepened. "It is my honor to assist you, young master. If you need any further guidance or resources, do not hesitate to ask."
Oliver nodded gratefully. "I appreciate that, Alfred. Your knowledge and expertise are invaluable to me."
With the map in his possession, Oliver's excitement grew even more palpable. He exchanged a final nod of gratitude with Alfred before immersing himself in the detailed markings and annotations on the parchment. The librarian's guidance had set him on the right path, fueling his determination to shape a better future for their barony.
The dialogue between Oliver and Alfred showcased their mutual respect and trust. Oliver recognized Alfred's loyalty and dedication, and in turn, Alfred was pleased to assist the young master in his endeavors. Together, they formed a formidable team, united by a shared goal of uncovering the secrets of their barony's history and forging a prosperous future.
Armed with newfound determination and a wealth of knowledge from the library, Oliver knew he had taken the first step towards transforming his barony. The path ahead was uncertain, but he was prepared to face the challenges that awaited him. With the map clasped in his hands, he left the library, ready to embark on an expedition that would shape the future of their fief and pave the way for industrial progress.
