Chapter 49: Hot Hands
According to Article 4.1.1 of Chapter 4 "Collapse" of the "JGJ/T429-2018 Safety Standard for the Prevention and Control of Accidents in Building Construction", the materials stacked at the construction site should be neat and stable, and it is strictly forbidden to be over-high. The stacking height of formwork, steel pipes, timber squares, blocks, etc. should not be greater than 2m, and the stacking height of steel bars should not be greater than 1.2m, and fixed measures should be taken for the accumulation.
When the stone wall, which was originally nearly three meters high and several meters thick, suddenly turned into sand and gravel, there was naturally a collapse accident.
Fortunately, Diana, who was not interested in Excalibur, stood far away, and Goblin A reacted quickly, so they were not affected by the collapse accident, and they were able to dig Charles out in the first place.
Freya floated in the air at a loss, not knowing why things had turned out the way they were. She didn't know how she got here, and she didn't know what the stone wall was like this after it was destroyed.
Charles, who was knocked down and buried by sand and gravel with his back facing the sky, had his first reaction after being dug up, "Ah, it's actually green." ”
Under Diana's patting, Charles finally shook off the dust and sand on his body.
At this time, a passage was revealed behind the stone wall, and inside the passage was a huge hall. It is all made of white marble, and it looks beautiful under the colorful light emitted from the round platform in the center of the hall.
The walls around the hall are carved with beautiful murals, which are about four meters wide and three meters high, depicting human warriors using various weapons to fight against enemies such as demons, demons, and monsters.
Freya said to Charles, who was standing in front of the mural, "These are my sisters, all of whom were created by the gods. ”
"This is the twin sister of the Ten Thousand Laws Scepter - Frica, over there is the Wisdom Tome - Ada, the Thunder Blade - Donna, the Flame Excalibur - Logg, the Shield of Strength - Valrhona, the Ice Spear - Skati, ......"
It took Freya a while to introduce Charles to her dozen or so sisters.
Charles thought for a moment and then asked Goblin A in a low voice, "Can you remove these murals?"
"What are you going to do?" Goblin A asked, puzzled.
"Sell!" Charles' reply was succinct, "and everyone will share the money." ”
Goblin A took out a dagger and slashed at the rock wall, but nothing happened except for a burst of sparks, and there was not a single scratch on the rock wall.
"Divine power, it's kind of interesting. Then a longsword glowing red appeared in Goblin A's hand.
Freya, who just wanted to laugh at these two guys, was stunned, "This is the divine power of the God of Forging?!"
The long sword in Goblin A's hand easily cut a sword mark on the rock wall.
Watching Goblin A jump up and down to break through the rocks around the mural, Charles put the removed mural into the storage ring, Freya said in disbelief: "The gods are above, when will the goblin use the divine power?!Is it true that I have been asleep for 10,000 years, and the world has changed?"
Because of Goblin A's sentence "materials with divine power are rare", Charles agreed with him to come back in a few days to dismantle another round.
Diana watched speechlessly as the two of them were demolishing the house, and she wanted to pretend she didn't know them and turn and run away.
"We're having a hard time over there...... Goblin A said.
"If you don't go out, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are......" Charles sighed.
"Isn't that Excalibur more expensive?!" Diana asked, pointing to Freya's body in the center of the hall, a one-handed sword about a meter long and emitting a seven-colored luster.
Then the two guys looked at the Demon Breaker Sword that was stuck in the round platform, and their eyes glowed like gold coins.
"You ...... You're not really going to sell me, are you?" Floating above the main body, Freya protected her hands in front of her and looked at the demolition duo in horror.
"Hahahaha......" Charles laughed, "how could we possibly sell you, it's no wonder those temples don't bother me if we do that." ”
Freya breathed a sigh of relief, if she became the first artifact to be sold, she might as well tie herself up and sink herself into the sea.
After the extra money was handled, Charles walked over to the Demon Breaker Excalibur and carefully examined the delicate Excalibur, which had only a very small part of the tip of the sword inserted into the round platform.
The total length of this sword is about one meter and five, the blade length is about ninety centimeters, and the blade width is about four centimeters. The silver-white sword body has a delicate pattern composed of thin lines of seven colors, the gauntlet is in the shape of golden wings, and the hilt is made of the horns of some kind of magical beast.
"I'm just going to hold it up and pick it up?" Charles asked.
"Yes. Freya replied, "Every brave person who picks up an artifact for the first time goes through a mental trial. Only after passing the trial can you truly master the artifact. ”
"What?" exclaimed Charles, in surprise, "why didn't you say it earlier." ”
Freya said to Charles helplessly: "Isn't it just to defeat the most feared existence in your heart, isn't this a matter of minutes for the brave man?"
Charles stood there with a blank face, how could he never get tired of playing such a routine. And what is the most fearful thing in my heart, fire, death? I can't even say.
Finally, he took a deep breath to calm his mind and grasp the hilt of the Demon Breaker.
Charles finds himself in a European-style living room with furnishings that are the finest of antiques. And he himself has become what he was in his previous life.
Charles sat on a couch, and across from him sat a young and beautiful girl who looked like Diana more than a decade later. Next to the girl, sitting...... Sitting a giant panda......
The giant panda was extinguishing the cigar in his hand in the ashtray on the coffee table in front of him, and then asked Charles, "Boy, have you bought a house, do you have a car, do you have a deposit?"
Faced with the sudden blind date trifecta, Charles was stunned, and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead.
Suddenly, Charles remembered that he was no longer a construction dog, but now the Earl of Maccaden.
I can build a White House.
Does a luxury carriage count?
Not to mention the deposits, there are a lot of them in the cellar and in the temple.
So Charles, who had money in his hand and was not panicked, suddenly straightened his waist and replied: "Yes, yes, yes!"
When his consciousness returned to his body, he found that he had pulled out the Demon Breaking Divine Sword, and was standing coquettishly + tremblingly on the round platform holding the Excalibur in a posing position.
However, among the two spectators, Diana looked at Charles with disgust, and Goblin A was thinking about whether to beat the brave man first.
Freya flew in the air excitedly. As the spirit of the Demon Breaking Sword, she couldn't be too far away from her own body. She has been locked up underground for three hundred years, and she will go crazy if she were an ordinary person, and it will be very uncomfortable for her as a machine spirit. Now that she was about to leave this dark and cold underground and go to the world, how could she not be excited.
"Woo woo woo ......," cried Freya, crying with joy, "O beautiful world, I'm back again!, Lord Brave, I want to drink a glass of honey water every day, a bread with raisins or a cake with almonds and a glass of milk for breakfast, a kebab with black pepper or cumin and a fresh fruit salad for lunch, a stew with cinnamon, pepper, and cinnamon and a thick soup with fresh vegetables for dinner, and a glass of wine from more than ten years old before going to bed." ”
"Every day?" Charles's face cramped, everything else was fine, but the names of the dried fruits and spices gave him a little stomach ache.
Dried fruits are a light luxury in this world, and spices are out-and-out luxury, and when their family sells goods, sometimes the other party will use spices to pay the bill.
"Yes, yes," said Freya, "just every day. ”
"If you don't eat these, won't you be able to exert your strength?" Charles asked.
"No, my power has nothing to do with it. Freya shook her head, "I just love eating these." ”
"Is it okay to eat once a month, then?" continued Charles, "spices are expensive. ”
"No!" Freya flew in front of Charles, "won't you make money if you don't have it?"
Charles didn't know what to say for a while, it was true that he had money, but he didn't spend it like that. If this money is used to build high walls and accumulate grain, it will be possible to pull up a small team with acceptable strength in ten years.
At this time, Goblin A suddenly said: "I remember that the previous owner of the Demon Breaking Sword was very poor, and he took on many difficult tasks in order to make money, the most difficult of which was the raid on Abyss City. ”
Charles shook his head, "Once a month is the limit, and if you have more, you really can't afford it." ”
"Every other day!" Freya said, "That's the bottom line!"
"If I'm in a good mood for food, Freya has a benefit...... "Freya's voice grew lower and lower.
"Hehe......" Charles sneered, "not interested." ”
As for the ability of the Demon Breaker Sword...... Charles really wasn't very concerned.
The method of breaking magic in this world has always been a very hot topic, and from time to time there will be some items with demon-breaking ability for sale in the world, and he can buy them when the time comes.
Although the effect of these props is definitely far worse than that of artifacts, the maintenance cost is low, and it is safe to hold and comfortable to use.
In this way, the attraction of the Demon Breaking Divine Sword to him was greatly reduced.
At this time, Charles suddenly remembered that he had an unexpected gain not long ago, but he had never tried to use it, and now seemed to be a good time.
