Chapter 718: Iron Tower
When he arrived at the construction site of the Philingen Tower, Charles realized why he had pulled himself here.
He didn't expect that the Pope of the Forging Temple pulled himself into this construction site, mainly in front of him.
"How's that, it's magnificent!" He Dou Dagger triumphantly pointed to the iron tower in front of him, which was already more than fifty meters high, and said to Charles.
Charles nodded and said, "It's spectacular indeed." β
Construction of the tower has been under construction for two years, and the foundation was completed last year, and then construction of the tower above and the surrounding outbuildings began.
Standing not far from the tower, you can see busy dwarves and dragons working on the tower, and the sound of rivets banging is endless.
Approaching the tower, Charles soon discovered something unexpected.
The base of the tower is about 100 meters wide, and in addition to the four-legged foundation, there is a huge concrete building buried in the ground in the middle, which is now being buried by backfilling.
The underground building is certainly not a parking lot, and if the tower has any secrets, it is the centerpiece, Charles reckons.
As if to confirm Charles's suspicions, Dou Dagger told him about the construction of the tower, and said nothing about the massive underground structure, as if it didn't exist.
Still, Charles found a clue that several arm-thick steel bars on each of the tower's four legs were sticking into the building.
An unreliable conjecture appeared in Charles's mind, could this guy absorb the power of lightning and store it?
He didn't ask this question very sensibly, building such a big guy next to the royal capital was obviously to be used as a strategic weapon, and if he asked too much, something would happen.
Then Charles ascended the tower under the leadership of He Dou Dagger.
The tower was a busy scene, and several dragons helped with the manual work, moving the thick steel beams to a fixed position, and then the dwarves fixed the steel beams with finger-thick rivets.
Charles found that the beams were numbered with a stamp, as well as the holes in the reserved upper rivets.
After noticing that Charles had noticed this detail, He Dou Dagger said, "These materials were all processed at the Forging Holy Land and then transported by water. β
Charles nodded, and made his way to the half-built platform at the top, where there were thick planks that the dwarf was fastening to the steel beams below.
This floor was planned to be used as a restaurant, and the water pipes for the upper and lower sewers were installed earlier, so that a few simple houses were erected for the workers to rest.
Sometimes there is a hot air conditioner in the house, and as soon as people come in, it will automatically turn on the machine and blow cold air outside.
Charles came in and hung his hard hat on the shelf, then sat down in a chair.
He Dou Dagger took out two bottles of mint water from the Xiaoice box on the side and threw one of them to Charles.
Charles took the bottle, uncorked it and took a big sip, the cool mint water and the ice element it carried made him feel good.
"It's too hot!" Charles said, sipping a cold drink, "The workers don't get heatstroke, do they?"
He Dou Dagger said: "Don't worry about this, we have measures to cool off." β
In the distance, the bell rang from the bell tower of Ciudad de CitΓ©, and it was ten o'clock in the morning.
The dwarves on the tower all put down their work and found a place where the sun could not get enough to sit down.
A white dragon that looked like it was still an adult flew up, and used a small power of ice dragon breath to cool down the dwarves on the tower.
The corners of Charles's mouth twitched by the window, there were too many grooves, and he was too lazy to vomit.
He Dou Dagger drank the cold drink and asked Charles, who was standing by the window, "What are your plans next?"
Charles said: "In August, ......"
He Dou Dagger interrupted him and said, "I didn't ask you about this, I didn't worry that you would be killed by that kid. β
"I'm asking you what happened after you killed that kid. β
Charles replied earnestly, "Go to school." β
"I knew it. He Dou Dagger took out a comb and said while combing his beard, "The past two years have not been peaceful, and the production of weapons is rising. β
"If it weren't for the significant improvement in the efficiency of mining in the past two years, this weapon would have been in short supply. β
Charles remembered one thing, and he asked, "I heard that there are many countries south of the Yangtze River that are massively expanding their armaments?"
He Dou Dagger glanced at him and said, "This is normal, the combat power shown by the elves is so strong, they have to be more or less guarded." β
Charles was speechless about this.
He Dou Dagger then asked, "Have you heard about that Eren's recent incident?"
Charles nodded and said, "I heard, I didn't expect him to be able to find the mastermind of the beast tide in Onna City last year." β
Speaking of this, he had to sigh at Allen, who had the aura of the protagonist.
Last year, the beast tide in Onna City was minimized by Charles's timely warning, but the man who manipulated the Warcraft ran away, and Alan hacked the man who manipulated the Warcraft that night to death by chance not long after returning home.
According to Allen, he found a man who had colluded with the devil, and after defeating that man, the man confessed that his wife had been ruined by the Duke of Beretta, who was in charge of Onna City, a few years ago, and then the man found the butler of the Duke of Beretta, who had been found to have embezzled the ordnance, and the two conspired against the Duke of Beretta.
However, Allen's words quickly sank into the sea without making a single wave.
Last year, Antoine II put the pot on the head of Louis Rebach, who appeared at the scene, and sent an official envoy to the kingdom of Rebach, demanding that the country arrest Louis and extradite him to the Kingdom of Bischberg for trial.
The Rebach Kingdom is naturally not a bird of the Bischberg Kingdom, and Duke Redkin, who beat the Bischberg Kingdom to the point of crying dad and mother, is a member of the Rebach Kingdom.
Antoine II also knew that this would be the case, but his purpose was only to warn the nobles of the kingdom of Rebach in preparation for the peace agreement that was about to end.
In this way, Allen's argument that "the culprit was done by domestic people" is incompatible with the national policy.
But He Dou Dagger said: "I'm not talking about this, but he was attacked a few days ago." β
Charles frowned and asked, "Do you suspect that I instructed me?"
He Dou Dagger, who continued to comb his beard, said "hehe" twice and said: "They are all going according to your ideas, and some people are more anxious than you." β
