On the thirteenth day of landing, the Moonlight Rat advance force led by Tari Waterfin finally succeeded in leveling the hill and completing the construction of the sewers.

This is the foundation of a city, according to the drawings in the hands of Archbishop Valcy, the traffic and size of the city need to be built according to the size of the human body, the unilateral distance of the city is about five hundred meters, in the shape of a perfect circle, the center is the temple of the moon mouse god Ron, and the temple is the city's council hall on the right, and the financial center of the city on the left - in the future, it will be allowed to build the temple of the goddess of wealth, Wokkin, and build large buildings such as banks, exchanges, auctions, etc.

As for the other moonlight rats, the dwellings will be connected by three horizontal and three vertical avenues, a total of six broad avenues, and all the buildings will be made of masonry, ensuring durability while maintaining beauty and cleanliness.

On top of that, through a special device in the Temple of the Moonlight Rat God, the Moonlight Rat in the city will normally be able to live in the city without wearing the Wisdom Light goggles.

As for the acquisition of food, it was also quite successful, after Thickskin and Blackmane led the moonlight rat warriors and hunters to investigate the entire island for ten days, no intelligent races were found, and too powerful predators did not exist on the island, only a herbivore similar to a hare thrived on the island, and the meat was tender and tender, which was a very good source of meat.

So, after confirming that it was safe, a part of the moonshine rat civilians reclaimed a large area of land near the coast of the city foundation, planted mycelium and seeds brought from the outside land—half of them were planted with mushrooms, and used the scraps of marine fish caught in the sea as nutrients—so that the mushrooms flourished and provided the most convenient food for the moonshine rats.

The other is a food similar to potatoes, which does not require marine fish as nutrients, but has a slower growth rate and takes three months to mature and be cultivated as a staple food in the future.

"Tari, it's time for us to start building houses. ”

"There's a catch, though. ”

"We didn't find lime as a binder. ”

The Moonlight Rats still live on wooden boats, and they desperately need to build a house and move out—but Cassel Ringtail, who follows Thickskin and Blackmane all over the island and is the most knowledgeable, and the most pious and energetic of the Moonlight Rats, discovers a fatal problem.

As long as there is enough firewood and earth, bricks are not a problem, but without binders, no amount of bricks can build a city - in one plane, because no limestone has been found, some cities even use rice milk boiled with pigskin as a binder for the construction of city walls.

However, at this moment, Tari does not even have the same sticky food.

"Thickskin has led some of the Moonlight Rats, who specialize in construction, to the other side of the island, where there are more abundant resources for firing bricks. ”

"And there is no problem of binder, in fact, Archbishop Valcy has also taken into account - in this Moonlight Rat army, there are about a hundred members of the Grey-Eyed Tribe, who will help us build the walls and houses. ”

Hearing what Tari said, Cassel immediately remembered these gray-robed moonlight rats, who had played a great role in building the city's sewer system - because the hundred members of the Grey-Eyed tribe were able to cast the spell of fossilized mud, and even if the hard rock was hit by dozens of fossilized mud, it could only turn into soft soil.

But Cassel didn't know that they were also proficient in the process of making binders, and were able to create binders with sufficient strength without the use of limestone.

"You're thinking sidetrack, Cassel. ”

"They don't make binders, they just know how to turn mud into stone. ”

Over the past ten days, Tari and Cassel, who was faintly the new leader of the Moonlight Rat Priest, had become friends and knew each other - so as soon as Cassel's expression grew, Tari knew he was crooked.

However, as soon as Tari's words fell, Cassel suddenly turned his head to look at him in surprise.

"Since they're proficient at turning mud into stone, why not just build a city out of mud and then cast a spell to turn them directly into stone?"

"For the sake of aesthetics and convenience. ”

"While they are proficient in turning mud into stone and fossils into mud, there is a limit to the number of spell slots a mage can remember, and a limited number of spells that can be cast in a day. ”

"If you do what you say, we'll get a rugged and wild city, and at the same time the construction time will be greatly extended. ”

After explaining to Cassel, Tari once again immersed himself in the materials left by Archbishop Valcy, while the writing instrument in his hand continued to carve on a wooden board, carving down his thoughts and comparing them with those of Archbishop Valcy.

"It's an object worth cultivating, and if it grows quickly, it can take on the position of the lord of the city. ”

As soon as Cassel left the cabin, his eyes became clearer and more transparent, and he muttered to himself.

Seven more days passed, and by the twentieth day, the warriors sent by Thickskin brought good news that the brick kiln had been successfully built with the participation of a large number of moonlight rat civilians, and that the first bricks had been fired this morning.

Because the soil on the island contains a large number of carapaces, the burned bricks have a little white star in the blue, just like the starry sky at night on the island, so it is named star brick.

So Tari made a decision and used the steel battleship Nautilus as a loading vehicle—because the city was built on a human scale, each brick was twenty centimeters long and fifteen centimeters wide, and it would take two moonlight rats to move.

It was obviously impossible to rely on the power of the Moonlight Rat to carry the bricks overland to the address - and the Nautilus, with its near-infinite power and steel hull, was the perfect means to carry them.

The only thing to worry about is that there is no dock next to the brick kiln, and an improvised dock needs to be built with fired bricks first, and at the same time, without the deterrence of the Nautilus, the safety of the moonlight rats needs to be paid more attention.

But on the whole, it's a smart move.

So, when the wooden terraced houses by the beach were built, the first bricks were brought in by the Nautilus from the site of the brick kiln named Starshine, which became the foundation stone of the first pier on the white beach that the moonlight rats called outside the future Moonlight Rat City.

On the first day, all ten boatloads of bricks fell according to the planned location under the carrying of the moonlight rat that dived into the water, and condensed under the spell of the Moonlight Rats of the Gray-Eyed tribe to turn mud into stone, turning into an exquisite dock!
