Garriman's explanation finally relieved the group of Real Men Adventure Group. Since this blasting technique is not precious to Garriman, and he has no idea of cherishing himself. However, the blasting technique is 10,000 dollars for Galiman, but it is a huge amount of money for these adventurers.
In addition, Garriman also gave a generous salary of three silver coins per person per month plus commissions, so that they couldn't refuse if they wanted to.
Rutav said on the spot that their adventure group originally stayed to apply for your job Mr. Mage, and since you have offered such a generous reward, of course we honest people are following you.
After negotiating the treatment, Garriman greeted them for a while before leaving. When I left the hotel, it was already sunset outside, and the sunset was red.
When we returned to the castle hall, a small round table was already set up in the hall. Anne was clinking the golden soup in the bowl with a spoon and a look of boredom on her face.
As soon as she saw Garriman return, the original expression on Anne's face was swept away. She shouted loudly into a room in the hall, "Mom, my brother has come back and can eat." ”
Then he commanded the maid who was standing beside him, "Inform the kitchen that the food can now be served." ”
Garriman went to wash his hands first, and when he returned, he saw Aurora also coming out of the room, and he helped his mother pull out a chair for her to sit down, and then returned to his seat to sit down.
Aurora took a sip of water and asked Garriman with some confusion, "You haven't been at home all day since you came back, are you busy with something?" Do you need your mother's help? ”
What Gariman was doing now was not an unspeakable secret, so he told Aurora and Anne about the hydrology and the preparation for the construction of the reservoir in the past few days.
"Alas~" Aurora sighed, and said with some complaints in her words: "Although I don't understand your men's desire to make contributions, but if you look at the family, one or two have gone out to do things, and now that the New Year is coming, how many people are still in the family?" ”
Garriman smiled awkwardly, he really didn't have much to do about the situation.
"I'll try to find some time to go home, after all, it's not too far to build the reservoir, a little more northwest of the limestone and coal mines, and if you ride a horse a little more than half a day back and forth, I'll go home once in a while." Garriman assured, "And Anne still wants me to teach her math, and I can't miss my homework." ”
Anne's face collapsed as she watched the joke.
After the night, Garriman left the city gate early in the morning, where the group of real men had arrived. In addition, there are people pushing cartloads of goods waiting at the foot of the city wall on the side of the official road.
Garriman went up and showed the token to the captain of Minfu's team, and after obtaining temporary command, he joined the adventuring group and marched along the official road to the explored place.
Arriving at the mines, Garriman found an old acquaintance he had met, one of the heads of the mines, the Luman Knights.
The friendship between the two is quite average, before Garriman came to sell the mining power of mud and black powder, and after Galriman left the Winter Wolf Territory, a small black powder production workshop was built here.
Garriman made a small detour to get here this time, and his idea was to buy some black powder from the mine's warehouse to blow up the mountain, and the missing fifty people could be recruited here. Of course, a little money will inevitably have to be spent.
Luman accepted Galimane's money, so it was difficult to shirk Galima's request. The mine heard that the wise man who had invented two kinds of explosives wanted to send fifty miners from the mine for his own use, supposedly to repair the canal, and the directors of the mine selected fifty of the obedient slave miners and handed them to Galima.
The biggest change is that the terrain has changed slightly, like a black and notched cake with a bite on it. Some shallow buried veins are not worth opening a separate hole, but it is a pity to miss it, after using explosives, there is no such trouble, make a hole in the ground and put an explosive to directly blast the soil layer above, and become an open air.
The Luhmann knight repeatedly praised the explosives of Kaliman, which had more than halved the production of his two mines. This is because the production of explosives cannot fully meet the needs of the mines, which restricts the production of the mines, otherwise the output of the two mines can be increased.
The shortfall in numbers was replenished by the arrival of people from the mines, and Garriman stayed here for a night to rest the people who had been running for days. I bought the black powder they produced from here and brought it with me, and when I got to the ground, I could see how effective they were. Garriman wanted to have the power of his handmade black powder, but he didn't know if they could do it.
With a night's time buffer, more than a hundred people smoothly handed over together, pushing the baggage cart towards the northwest direction.
The journey from the city of Buretta to the mines took the people half a day's walk, and the journey from the mines to the hill where the reservoir was built was also half a day's journey, and after arriving at the place, they had to set up camp, and the houses for temporary dwelling and those for long periods of time had to be built in order. Fortunately, the weather is not cold now, it is still a little hot, and the house does not need to be treated with wind.
The height of this sparsely populated nameless hill relative to the ground is only fifty or sixty meters, as high as a twenty-story building, and there is nothing steep on the slope of the mountain.
So in addition to digging a large pit to intercept the excess water, Garriman also had to blow up a high enough water level to form a small waterfall to obtain hydraulic power.
After a night's rest, the next day Garriman asked the hundred men to continue to build the camp, while he led the group of adventurers to go deep into the wilderness to investigate the accurate drawings on the paper, and at the same time to find a suitable blasting site, not only to dig a pit to repair the reservoir, but also to make a place with a drop point for hydroelectric power.
