Chapter 68: I Will Build a City

"Your Highness!"

Green lifted the curtain and walked into the cave where he was temporarily living, and looked at Princess Victoria, who was standing at the wooden table and looking through things, and bowed slightly.

Just when he was at James's side, he heard the news that Princess Victoria was coming, so Green had to put down what he was doing and rush over.

As usual, Her Royal Highness was accompanied by her little Lori maid Maria, and Freya, the Viking warrior who was always silent and expressionless.

"Wow, wow, a lot of little dragons... Cat!" Grimm was about to say a second sentence, when he saw Maria scream and rush after him, followed by Anne, who was also surprised.

Meowth jumped to her feet and jumped into Anne's arms, while the other little fairy dragons were startled by the screaming creature. They nimbly dodged Maria's warm embrace, and then landed on Green's shoulder, only Pikachu, who was a little slower, was suddenly hugged by little Lori.

After hugging Pikachu, Maria immediately rubbed her blushing little face against Pikachu's head, and purred in comfort like a small animal.

It's just that the expression on Pikachu's face at this moment is a little helpless: ╮(╯ω╰)╭Ah, how can this guy be more clingy than his own children!

Seeing that her little maid was so unfigured, Victoria rubbed her forehead helplessly, and said to Green, who was a little dumbfounded, "Don't worry about her, she's been crazy all day long." Green, tell me about your drawings! What are you drawing?" said Princess Victoria, picking up a drawing from her desk.

"Uh—" Green came back to his senses, took the blueprint from Princess Victoria's hand, glanced at it, and said, "This is the model house I plan to build for the residents of Tequila Island." ”

"Show house?" Victoria was always interested in what Green called a new term. She walked over softly, stood side by side with Green, pointed to one on the drawing, and asked, "Why do you have such a large window? Isn't it cold in winter?"

Smelling the faint fragrance beside him, Green couldn't help but feel a little excited, he took a slight breath, took out the monocular he picked up from his pocket and said to the princess, "Your Highness, do you know what this is?"

Victoria stretched out her white jade palm to take the lookout glass, lowered her head and looked at it casually and said, "You don't need to call me Your Highness, Green, you can just call me Victoria." ”

After saying that, she pointed to the lenses on both ends of the mirror and exclaimed, "I have never seen such a transparent crystal!

"Yes, yes. Green nodded, "But it's not a natural crystal, it's an artificial... Crystal. I prefer to call them glass, though. Temple..."

"Huh?" Victoria turned her head suddenly.

Looking at the princess's big eyes, Green's heart was weak for no reason, and he hurriedly changed his mouth and said, "Victoria, you can put this telescope in front of you and look at it, like this." So saying, he held the mirror and put it in front of the princess's eyes.

Victoria closed one eye curiously, and then put the other eye on the mirror, but what appeared in front of the mirror suddenly startled her: it was a big round eye.

Harpy jumped on Green's head with an innocent look on his face.

"Khan, naughty fellow!" Green said with a wry smile to the princess, "Look at it again! ”

Victoria winked at Harpy, then fell back into front of the lookout. She watched quietly for a moment, and finally understood what Green meant, "Are you going to press this glass against the window?"

"But isn't this something that only exists in the Southern Continent?" Victoria couldn't help but say again.

"Of course not," said Green, smiling, "I'll make something like that." ”

As he spoke, he took out three different stones from the corner of the cave and said to Princess Victoria, "Just put these three stones: limestone, natural soda, and quartz together, and then scratch their jaws later, and they will spew this glass melt." When the melt becomes semi-solidified, it can be used to make all kinds of different things, such as glass windows, cups, bottles, mirrors, and so on. ”

Speaking of this, Green, who couldn't help but be a little excited, took out a few more drawings from the table and said to Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria, "Look, this is the floor plan of the house, this is the side view, and this is the back view." ”

"I plan to unify the houses into two-story buildings with clay-fired roof tiles and glass windows so that not only does it let in light, but it also doesn't leak air. ”

"The floor of the house is covered with wood so that your feet don't freeze in winter, and every house has a fireplace so that everyone can hide in the warm house even when the snow is falling. ”

Speaking of this, Green couldn't help but pause, originally he planned to have heating and hot water in every house, after all, most of the islands in the Viking Sea have many natural hot springs. The water in these hot springs varies in temperature and would be a waste if not to use them.

However, although there were dragons to help smelt enough steel, the processing and production pipeline problems were too slow, so Green had to temporarily dismiss the idea.

But he kept the reserved hole for laying the pipe, because he believed that sooner or later these problems could be solved slowly.

Victoria looked at the radiant Green in a daze, she didn't expect that this young man from a civilian background would have such a grand ambition. If every Viking household in the kingdom of Navia could live in such a house, would there still be so many people who freeze to death every winter?

"Victoria, Your Highness?" Green scratched his head and whispered when he saw the princess who had been staring at him stunned.

"Huh?" Her Royal Highness looked a little cute when she came back to her senses, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Green, what's the matter?" Victoria tucked her short blonde hair.

"Your Highness, can you help me invite Master Bartodil to Dragon Tongue Island. Green said very seriously.

"Is there anything else?" asked Victoria, curious.

She knew that if it was just about building a house, Green wouldn't ask her so formally.

"Yes," Green nodded, took out a larger drawing from the wooden cabinet on one side, spread it on the table, and said, "Your Highness, I want to build a city!"

Originally, Green's near-term plan did not have such a plan, and it was a whim to draw this drawing. One is because of the production of cement, and the other is because of the manpower problem. However, since Jaime brought back a massive earth-shaking dragon, the problem of cement production is no longer an issue.

A large earth-shaking dragon with a body length of more than 30 meters can produce cement at a time, and the output of a stone-chewing dragon is definitely several times that of a stone-chewing dragon, and it is also a natural rock crusher.

As for the manpower, Green intends to recruit among the Vikings of the entire kingdom of Navia, as long as they are willing to come and work here, not only will they have food and shelter, but also a good salary, and even those who are willing to settle here can get a house of their own. Of course, this is only a temporary consideration, and there are some things that need to be communicated with the leaders of other tribes.

Standing quietly at the wooden table for a long time, Princess Victoria finally raised her head, smiled at Grimm and said, "No problem, Grimm." In three days' time, there will be a meeting of the chiefs on King's Island, and I can introduce you then, but as for whether Grandpa Bartodil will come, it's up to you. ”
