Chapter 62: The Great Construction

Towards noon, Aisha sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes, and the sunlight outside the window shone through the wooden window pane and shone on her face, with a warm and tingling sensation that tickled and was intoxicating.

Thinking of the memories of yesterday's torture from drug addiction, the tree elf's face turned pale instantly, and her hands subconsciously clenched her head, even if she died, she didn't want to experience that pain again.

So, no matter what the cost, the mission must be done!

Holding the bucket and towel, Aisha thought about the next steps as she walked to the stream near the hut and washed herself, and on her way home, she happened to meet Alcia who had come to visit her.

"Good morning, Miss Aisha......"

The blonde boy's eyes lit up, and he looked at the tree elf in front of him like a hibiscus out of the water, and his brain short-circuited again.

At this time, Aisha was completely different from yesterday, wearing an off-the-shoulder dress decorated with white flowers, the corners of the skirt reached the knees, and her plump and slender limbs were more feminine and moving. Under the pale golden sun, her fair skin was full and full of luster, her eyes flowed, looking forward to life, and the whole person looked as if she was covered with a layer of soft light, and there was no trace of haggardness.

"Are you cured?" he asked, undisguised in surprise.

"Well, after taking the medicine, I took a break, and now I feel better than ever. Miss Dryad regained her usual composure and replied with a chuckle.

"Great, it really scared me to death, this is the medicine I specially found for you, it can replenish your strength. Alcia took out a glass bottle from his trouser pocket, held it in his palm and handed it to the other party.

"What is this?" she said, curious.

"The potion of the forest fairy fruit bubble is good for restoring physical strength. Calming the mind works wonders. The blonde boy said a little shyly.

"Forest Fairy Fruit...... It must be precious......"

Aisha's heart tingled. Looking at Alcia, whose eyes were pure. For a moment, there was even an urge to tell the other party the whole truth, but this urge was fleeting, and was immediately replaced by a desire for white powder.

"Let's not talk about that. ”

He stuffed the glass jar into the hand of the tree elf, stabilized his mind, and politely stretched out his right hand: "It's already noon, let me treat you to a meal." ”

The blonde boy's suggestion is hard to refuse, and she also needs a hearty lunch to replenish her strength after being tortured by drug addiction yesterday.

Aisha thought for a moment. Agreeing generously, Alcia smiled and took her hand very gentlemanly:

"There is a new restaurant by the sea where the food is said to taste good. ”

"Anywhere. ”

The dryad tilted his head to look at him, blinking his eyes, and the soft gaze seemed to see through his thoughts:

"But don't be too far away to delay me getting home. ”

"Hey......

The blonde boy sneered, his boiling mind still cooling, and it seemed that the delusion of reliving that day's sweet dream seemed to be going backwards for a while.

......

Restaurant by the sea across the beach. Great view and sunlight through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Fill every corner of the hall. Both of them were sensitive, so they chose a private room, and the main course of the dinner was exquisite, especially a tender venison.

Re-entering such a flamboyant and extravagant retreat, Aisha couldn't help but feel like she was away from home, and in just a few months, the knife and fork that Charles had taught her seemed unfamiliar, and the violin played by the musician was alien to her.

"Miss Aisha...... Maybe, in your eyes I'm really stupid and stupid...... But actually...... I can feel it, you have something on your mind. ”

Althea's gaze became hot, as if there were a thousand words, and a hand lightly pressed on the white palm of the tree elf:

"Please trust me, okay?"

The dryad's eyes sparkled as she lowered her gaze and unconsciously sliced the venison in front of her.

After a long time, she raised her eyes and met the gaze of the blonde boy:

"Actually, I have a daughter, and she's not much younger than you...... Before coming to Celtic to make a living, I had a relationship with a wealthy man named Charles. Alcya, you are the third and youngest man in my life. ”

Alcia's face was strange, and he couldn't tell what his expression was, and after a full two minutes, he exhaled, tore off his tie with one hand, shook his head, and said:

"So, if I marry Miss Aisha...... You're going to have a daughter who's about your age?"

"Who will marry you, no shame!" Aisha blushed and snorted softly.

"I don't have any experience, but I'll try to be a good father......" The blonde boy looked at her pantingly.

Miss Dryad didn't answer, her graceful lips raised upwards in a bright, heart-pounding smile. Alsia's heart was almost touched by this smile, even if it was just for this smile, no amount of effort was worth it.

After that, both of them drank a lot of alcohol, the blonde boy was solely because of the mellow and fragrant environment, and Aisha was trying to numb himself and try to forget all the unpleasant memories for a while.

"I'll go to the bathroom. ”

Miss Dryad picked up her handbag and gracefully left the luxurious private room, staring at her with envy, jealousy, amazement, and greed along the way......

She had never cared so much about the eyes of others as she did today, and she never thought that she would one day become like this. Fortunately, no one could see that the beautiful and elegant woman in front of her was actually a butterfly covered in mud.

When she came out of the bathroom that had not been fully renovated, she saw that her hair was a little messy, so she straightened her sideburns in the mirror and touched up her makeup.

The red lips of the beautiful woman in the mirror gradually became more and more beautiful, Aisha put down the lipstick, and couldn't help but sigh, if the child knew the truth, what kind of eyes would he look at himself.

"Miss Aisha, as long as you get serious, there is no man you can't seduce. ”

With this familiar and piercing voice, a man was reflected in the mirror, he looked obscene, but he was dressed in a straight dress, and there were two small mustaches on his lips. It looks nondescript.

The Dryad didn't look back. Staring at the figure in the mirror. Said coldly:

"John, you're following me?"

"If I say it's just a coincidence, do you believe it?"

The other party pressed his shoulders and posed for a photo with her in the mirror, revealing a hint of depth: "Anyway, that kid is also a knight, and I'm an ordinary person following him, isn't it looking for death?"

Aisha turned her face sideways and said mockingly, "It was because you were good at advocacy that I cut off my medicine. The plan almost failed, and now you appear on this occasion again, are you afraid that I will go too well?"

John put away the depth of his disguise, smiled and showed his jagged teeth, and said lightly:

"Why, I believe in Miss Aisha's skills. ”

Miss Dryad put away her makeup case and looked at him with a smile: "Mr. John, please take two steps back, or I can't guarantee your life." ”

"You think I'm really scared of you!" he was instantly enraged.

"Oh?"

Aisha raised the corners of her lips, then lifted her feet. With a hard step, the thin heel of the heel of the high heel was right on John's foot.

The man gasped. The facial features were distorted into strange shapes, and he subconsciously hugged the injured right foot and began to jump all over the ground. In pain, he opened his mouth and was about to scold, but he was frightened by the gesture of the tree elf choking his neck.

"That's it, shut up. ”

Miss Tree Elf patted his head like a child, and said with a sneer: "Although I am a hopeless rotten woman now, it doesn't mean that you can be bullied at will. ”

......

A gust of wind blows from the depths of the vast forest, like a mother's hand gently brushing the green and lush wheat field, and the layers are like rippling ripples in the wind, making the whole vision full of vitality and bringing people pleasing natural beauty.

The ridges divide the land into patches of about the same size, and the neat wheat seedlings take root in these areas to thrive, and it is not difficult to see from the swaggering and gratifying growth that the autumn must be full of golden harvest, but looking at these fertile fields, it is hard to imagine that just a year ago this was an untouched wilderness.

"Your Excellency the Governor, these fields are of good quality, they are all native lands that have not been induced by spell radiation, and by the fall, they should be able to reach a yield of three thousand five hundred pounds per acre!"

The surveyor followed behind Yalei with a thick ledger in his arms, his eyebrows fluttering.

"The growth of cereals is really happy. ”

Jarley looked at the endless fields, and his mood became more relaxed, and he could produce three thousand five hundred pounds per acre of land, which was equivalent to seven hundred soles at market prices.

The military households of the ordinary guard station have 500 acres of land, which means that they can earn 350,000 soles from the grain harvested in the autumn alone, which is higher than the military salary of professional soldiers.

Even if some of them have to pay for the service, it is also a super profitable business, as long as the autumn harvest can be smooth, the Wei Suojun who tasted the sweetness will completely have the same heart as himself.

By the way, there are two main categories of grain in Atlasu, one is spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and the grain is grown according to the rules of nature, which is relatively expensive and safe and pollution-free.

The other is a crop that is born by spells, although it can also be eaten, but there is a subtle mana radiation remaining inside the grain, it doesn't matter if you eat less, if you eat too much, your body will definitely have problems. The price of this food was so low that the empire would not allow it to circulate to the market unless it was a once-in-a-millennium superfamine that forced citizens to a situation where they could be eaten.

"Lord Earl!"

With a shrill cry, on the narrow ridge, a wheelbarrow carrying seven miner goblins shook quickly, and several bearded elders held a drawing together, and said with difficulty:

"This is a blueprint for the Glamorgan Fortress, please take a look. ”

"So fast?"

Surprised by the speed at which they were designed, and knowing that he had underestimated the miner goblin's enthusiasm for construction, Areley motioned for the surveyor to step away some distance before taking the blueprints.

The entire fortress is centered on the river that runs through Glamorgan, and relies on the surrounding mountain walls to connect the surrounding mountains and the city defense into a whole. The main buildings are located inside the mountain, while the outer perimeter is built with two inner and outer ramparts, the overall layout is a circular closed structure, the outer ramparts are several miles long, the walls are made of nearby quarried stones, about eleven yards high, three yards thick, every two hundred yards there are towers of arrows embedded with the city walls, outside the city is the artificially excavated channel, which connects the main river of Glamorgan, the depth and width of the channel are numerical, and the river water becomes an excellent moat.

"There's no need to make the fortress so large. ”

The black-haired knight still remembers the collapse of the Dreadnought Fortress, so it is clear that the firepower of the weapons is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no shortage of explosives in the Rune props, so there is little point in building a fortress with a normal structure.

"We don't waste a pound of ore!"

"It has to be big, and it has to be connected to the mountain, and the cost is the most cost-effective. ”

"We're going to mix obsidian in the stone to make the fortress more magical. ”

"You can also put some spell arrays in the foundation to increase the strength of the city defense. ”

"The moat needs to prepare a frozen array, which can be turned into an ice wall at a critical time. ”

"We need more helpers, workers!"

"Please let the Dryad and Albert assist in the construction. ”

The Goblin Elders screamed one by one, their enthusiasm almost igniting the air, and in their opinion, being able to design a fortress for a city was enough to boast of a hundred years of accomplishments within the clan.

"How much ore does that cost...... To be honest, I don't have that much funding. Yalei looked at the rows of data listed below the blueprints, and couldn't help but have his eyelids jumping.

The Goblin Elders were stunned, and they circled around the wheelbarrow and began to grunt:

"What to do, Lord Earl has no money. ”

"Can't you build a fortress without money?"

"Yes, human beings spend money on everything, and if there is no money, there is no ore. ”

"But we have ore. ”

"Yes, we can lend the ore to Lord Count and let him pay an IOU. ”

"Good way!"

"In that case, let the Earl borrow our ore and build a fortress for him!"

They discussed for a while, and quickly made up their minds, and the eldest elder, with the longest beard, stood up and said solemnly:

"Lord Count, we can lend you the ore, but you have to promise to pay it back. ”

"No problem, I promise to pay it back, if you can't afford it, you will use the mine as a mortgage. "The black-haired knight is in debt now, and it would be great if someone could send the debt to the door.

"In that case, let's make a contract and swear by blood. ”

The Great Elder bit his finger and popped out a drop of green blood, levitating in front of the other party.

"Swear by blood. ”

Yalei bowed his head happily, and also bit his finger, squeezing out a drop of blood, which merged with the green blood.

ε‘²β€”β€”!

The two drops of blood fused into one, instantly distorting into a strange point of light, drawing several patterns in the space, and then splitting into two strands, one into the sun and the other with the earthβ€”symbolizing the confinement of the Golden Edict and the River Styx at the same time.
