Chapter 914, Gawain's melancholy

After dealing with Kolo's affairs, calculate the time, and then Luo Ji should also prepare for the winter.

At the same time, it is inevitable to be concerned about the progress of the construction of the border road.

It has been several months since the construction of the highway between the cities began.

But after all, it was the first time that such a huge project had been carried out.

None of the workers had any experience in this area, so the efficiency was a bit unsatisfactory all of a sudden.

At present, the road between Gaoling City, the western border of the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization and the Oasis City in the rear, has only been built a quarter of it.

However, aside from the issue of efficiency, with Gao Wen, a modern person, in charge of supervising the work, there is still no problem with the quality of the road.

And with the gradual enrichment of the construction experience of the workers, the efficiency will definitely get faster and faster.

After confirming the situation with Gao Wen a few times, it is obvious that Luo Ji does not need to worry about this matter.

Therefore, Luo Ji was also quite relieved to focus on the work in front of him.

As the days passed, the weather gradually cooled down, and everyone was clearly aware that winter was approaching them.

At this moment, on the highway connecting Gaoling City and Oasis City to the west of the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization, Gao Wen, wearing a hard hat, was riding his little pony, running back and forth on the edge of the construction site.

It can be said that the progress of the project is confirmed quite carefully.

After all, he also knows the importance of this highway.

The civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds is about to move up the ranks, as grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

The stronger Luo Ji is, the safer he is, and he can't even think about it.

"The No. 1 machine over there, hurry up, this piece has not been flattened, how many times have I said it? After paving, press back and forth a few more times, if the road is uneven, what is the difference between it and before? ”

As he spoke, a large machine that seemed to look like a road roller was slowly pushed over.

Undoubtedly, this is also a product of Goblin Technology.

Of course, this is certainly human-driven.

It takes five people to operate such a machine.

One person controls the direction, and the other four need to cooperate with each other and press the pedal hard to get the machine moving.

Although there are many principles used in this, the burden on the operator is reduced.

But no one can deny that this is still a very difficult job.

The four human workers who pedaled on the roller were already sweating profusely.

After watching the roller press back and forth several times to confirm that it was leveled, Gawain nodded with satisfaction and motioned for them to continue pressing the next piece.

And he himself quickly spread out the map and confirmed the progress of the route at a glance.

Compared with the beginning, the efficiency is now more than a little bit faster.

If this efficiency continues, the project should be half completed by the winter.

If there is no heavy snow in winter, then I think that the road between Kaolin Castle and Oasis Castle will be completely paved at the beginning of spring next year.

Thinking of this, Gawain couldn't help but express his satisfaction with his work efficiency.

Holding a pen and making a few marks on the map, Gawain, who closed the map, touched his stomach, which was about to suffocate, and then glanced into the distance with some depression......

"Damn, why hasn't my takeout arrived yet?"

After all, they are working outside the city.

Rushing back to the city at the end of each day's work is obviously too troublesome and wastes a lot of time.

So during the construction period, the workers camped and rested in the suburbs.

In order to ensure the safety of the workers, Luo Ji also sent a team of soldiers to protect them.

As for the three meals, it was naturally cooked by the cooks in the camp.

The food can only be said to be average, and there is no concept of delicious or unpalatable.

However, Gawain is obviously not used to it.

He is also a goblin king, and he still has the privilege of opening a small stove for himself.

So he paid someone to drive a horse-drawn carriage to the nearest city and post station to help him buy the ingredients he wanted to eat.

Then he was sent here and asked the camp cook to do it for him.

Usually there is a set date, and the ingredients are sent for several days each time.

The food is better than a big pot of rice.

He's been like this for months.

The workers were not dissatisfied.

Gawain is willing to pay, someone is willing to drive a carriage to buy and take money to do things, it's that simple.

But this trip was strange.

It stands to reason that the ingredients for this trip should have been delivered three days ago.

But the fact is that there is no one in sight until now.

All the ingredients that were delivered last time were eaten the day before yesterday.

This resulted in Gawain having to eat a big pot of rice for the day yesterday.

"Am I acting too easy-going? Is this planning to be passive and slacking off? Deduct his salary, I must deduct his salary! ”

Just when Gawain was thinking viciously.

In the distance, a soldier on a fast horse rushed to the outside of the camp at a breakneck speed.

And after dismounting, he locked on to Gawain's location at a glance, and then walked quickly towards him.

Seeing this scene, Gao Wen's eyelids jumped decisively.

His instincts were telling him that nothing was good!

"Zhao Tao, the leader of the third patrol team of Gaoling City, has met Lord Gaowen."

"The patrol ......"

Gao Wen, who confirmed the identity of the other party, frowned slightly.

"What are the patrol guys looking for me?"

"Here's the thing, did Lord Gawain hire a young man named Zhang Peng to help him deliver ingredients on a regular basis some time ago?"

Gawain's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"That's right, but I haven't seen him since the last time he sent the ingredients, what's going on?"

"Here's the thing, Zhang Peng's mother came to us five days ago to report that her son was missing, and we also learned from that mother that Zhang Peng was working for you recently, so we followed his work route and searched along the way......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Tao's voice paused.

"As a result, Zhang Peng's body was found in a mountainous area three hundred miles outside the city."

Well, his instincts came true.

Gawain couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.

"So, you're looking for me?"

"Lord Gawain, I came here this time, on the one hand, to confirm some specific circumstances, and on the other hand, I want you to go over and confirm it, check the identity of the deceased, and at the same time, if you can provide us with any clues, it would be great."

"Okay, then......"

Gawain never imagined that such a thing would happen.

The civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds is based on a complete rule of law, and if something like this happens, as a related person in the case, even if he is the goblin king, he has the obligation to cooperate with the investigation.
