Chapter 107: The Tavern (End)
In order to build a road connecting Blackwater to Bagen-Uttonburg, Mr. Derek, who has his own channel, has prepared enough sand, gravel and other materials. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, Lu Bin revealed a little bit of tone, and the buyer of Count Conrad's Xinzhong immediately ordered his entourage to go to the warehouse to pick up ten truckloads of sand and gravel, and fill all the annular tunnels around the tavern.
Under the order of the "Guardian", the fortress-level tree man carried a stone mill that could only be dragged by four horses in one hand, and walked around the Alfalfa Flower Tavern, and pumped a large amount of groundwater caused by Lu Bin's previous use of the River Valley Beast Wave Enchantment, causing the tunnel to be sunken in the ground to its original state.
Even if you count the time it takes for the entourage to go to the warehouse to extract the sand and gravel, it takes only a quarter of an hour to repair the chest-high tunnel.
With such an astonishing efficiency, not to mention the good deeds of the people who watched from the sidelines, even Derek, a buyer who had seen the world, was shocked by the fact that he had witnessed it with his own eyes like a withered flower in the wind.
Lu Bin smiled disapprehantly: "It was just an appetizer just now, and I haven't shown my ability yet." Mr. Derek, if you want to build the section of the road you are responsible for as soon as possible, please hand over the right to deploy personnel and materials to the contemptible people, and I promise to let you see a real surprise. ”
Hearing this, the purchaser Derek's body no longer trembled, and his hands no longer trembled like "chicken claws crazy", his face showed a little hesitation, but when he looked up at the twelve-meter-tall fortress-level tree man, his confidence in "Mage Rez" suddenly became very sufficient.
Lu Bin knew that he had won again, and under the premise that the two sides were not familiar with each other and did not know each other's details, the buyer Derek was able to bet on the career related to his future and take risks on "Mage Rez", and he could not succeed by saying good things with empty teeth.
Therefore, Lu Bin deliberately summoned the only two fortress-level tree people from the "Elven Waste Capital Elondale", and this large man who was the same height as a four-story building and no less than a hill giant would undoubtedly produce a kind of persuasiveness that is difficult to describe in words, but very powerful.
Although the tunnels in the area around the Alfalfa Flower Tavern are not Lu Bin's responsibility alone, he is also the one who indirectly influences them, so taking this opportunity to repair the damaged parts and show that he has another hole card of the fortress-level tree man is undoubtedly a preview of his voice to the officials of Blackwater Town and the church that has returned from the feathers.
As for other subsequent effects, such as the tavern's owner's thanks, and the claim to have entertained "Lord Rez" for his permanent stay on the second floor of the tavern free of charge, and to give him a room for permanent residence.
There were also the guards of the town office who rushed to hear the news, but in the face of the fortress-level treemen, the courage in their hearts immediately receded like a tide, looking at the waist-high stone grinder, being fiddled with by the treemen like a toy, and the appearance of trembling hands and feet was exactly the same as Mr. Derek, a buyer who suffered from intermittent "chicken claw madness".
Lu Bin didn't embarrass them, and when the tunnel was filled with sand and gravel and restored to its original state by the treeman's own hands, he immediately beckoned his partner, Mr. Derek, to take the free "vehicle" of the fortress-level treeman, and leave the tavern street in the center of Blackwater Town to the starting point of the road that was about to begin.
When the tree man took a big walk, there was a lively scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping along the way, but this gentle friend of the forest, under Lu Bin's instructions, avoided the busy main road and walked safely on the auxiliary road across the street.
The five-meter-high town protective wall is easy for stronghold-level treants to cross, and the difficulty is easier than the hurdle of ordinary people. This scene was seen by the buyer Derek, and he was stunned and didn't know what to say, he was sitting on the shoulder of the tree man, enjoying the extraordinary vision of the clouds, and he felt very good.
Lu Bin took in the partner's reaction, and he thought more long-term, "Helping Derek the purchaser complete the construction of the road will definitely give him extra points in front of Earl Conrad." With this achievement in hand, it would be the cornerstone of my great cause to have Mr. Derek as my introducer, and to introduce me to the lord of a territory as vast as Bagen-Utunburg, and to have the powerful nobility of the Great Council of the North. ”
The Treant stepped over the walls of Blackwater and walked a dozen steps forward before arriving at the destination of the trip. Lu Bin saw the general shape of the road and realized the place, so he hurriedly ordered the Friends of the Forest to put himself and the buyer Derek down.
Kneeling on one knee, the tree man who slowly lowered his height stretched out his hands to the ground, Lu Bin cast a "you know" look at his partner, and then the two walked to the ground step by step along the steps that had just appeared.
Even if the buyer Derek touched the ground with his feet, because the experience just now was really impressive, he had not yet eased up, he was like a sailor who ran a boat all the year round, and as soon as he got ashore, he would suffer from "land sickness", and it took a long time to recover his complexion.
Since the buyer Derek personally promised to let the "Mage Rez" give it a try, Lu Bin later officially took over the construction rights of the road, and he first took over the preparation of the "warehouse" from the entourage of his partner, mainly sand and gravel, and some clay.
"To keep the road from being spoiled by weeds along the way, it's best to cover the foundation with a layer of calcined ash. ”
Cold stone is the saying of this world, corresponding to the quicklime before Lu Bin's crossing, for the ubiquitous plant rhizomes, the calcined lime has a strong effect on inhibiting its wanton growth.
"The ash powder after the calcination of the cold stone may be sold in the Tieling Commercial Bank in the town, and they have a good relationship with the town office and can get the remaining pioneer materials. ”
The purchaser Derek immediately spoke out to solve the problem of material preparation, he is not the head snake of Blackwater Town, but he is well aware of the intricate relationship between the town's chamber of commerce and officials.
Lu Bin nodded with satisfaction, and then flipped through the list of personnel, after all, this is the proof of wages: "There are thirty employees who built this road, which is too few!"
"Is it very little?" said Derek, the buyer, immediately sticking his head over, and then remembered that he had left everything to the "Mage Rez", so he did not doubt his judgment.
"Your Excellency, how about doubling the number of hired workers? There are a lot of idle people in the town, and applying for a place to post a recruitment notice on the bulletin board at the entrance of the town office should quickly recruit enough helpers. ”
Lu Bin shook his head, "Those people can cope with ordinary hard work, and I am afraid that such a meticulous and standardized project as building roads will not meet my requirements." ”
Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and sure enough, he succeeded in arousing the curiosity of his partner, and then slowly said the answer: "If I had to choose, I would rather choose some novice mercenaries." The reason is as follows, they have received basic martial arts training, physical strength and endurance are very good, and secondly, they have good discipline, at least they know the basic orders and prohibitions. ”
Derek thought about it and nodded sympathetically, "Agreed! Although it costs an extra money, it saves time and is worth it more than anything else." Your Excellency Rez, I will immediately let the entourage arrange it. ”
Lu Bin checked the route of the road again, and on a scribbled parchment map, the sinuous snake shape gave him a headache.
Since the detailed map is suitable for warfare and is a highly classified military resource, in order to prevent the leakage of territory information, the town office hid most of the terrain along the way, and re-copied a degraded version of the map.
Lu Bin looked at the parchment map spread out in his left hand, and the green tendons in his head suddenly appeared, and after a long time, he smiled self-deprecatingly and decided to follow the route planned above.
It didn't take long for the partner's entourage to lead the three teams of unarmed mercenaries over, Lu Bin hurriedly glanced at them, and found that their eyes were as sharp as blades, I am afraid that they were not rookies who had recently changed careers, but veterans who had wandered many times between life and death.
"These people may all have good martial arts, but I'm afraid they all have a part in the abuse, treachery, laziness and other diseases, what I just said is not clear enough? Or is that one of your entourage not doing his best?"
Derek, the purchaser, was a little ashamed of what "Mage Rez" said, and immediately stretched out his hand to summon his personal attendant, pulled him to the side and asked in a whisper, and then he was shocked by the answer he received, and couldn't help but glance back.
Lu Bin's feeling was much stronger than when he had just crossed over, and he immediately noticed the strange look in his partner's eyes, and later he knew the reason why Derek's entourage did not recruit obedient rookie mercenaries.
The truth turned out to be the fortress-level tree man he summoned with a wave of his hand, which certainly shocked the officials and churches of Blackwater Town, and made the vigilant eye die down again, not daring to have any reckless thoughts before investigating the details of the "Mage Rez".
However, this extraordinary creature that stands out from the crowd has also attracted the attention of the merchant guilds, adventurers' unions, and mercenary organizations in Blackwater Town, and in addition to reaffirming the extraordinary strength of "Mage Rez", there are also many more small actions to take advantage of the opportunity.
Therefore, when the entourage of the buyer Derek went to the town office to recruit mercenaries, he was immediately discovered by the eyes of Lu Bin, who were always staring at Lu Bin, so the three long-term mercenary organizations in Blackwater Town, Vultures, Wolf Claws, and Red Spiders, immediately sent elites to disperse the rookies near the town office, and were forcibly recruited to build roads.
After Lu Bin knew the details, he couldn't help but scold: "!"
