Chapter 126: The Concept of the Residency (Part 5)
"No problem, I'll keep it for you first, if any blind thieves dare to steal, I'll smash their brains out!" Will smiled and raised his fist. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He had clearly not forgotten the thieves who tried to steal the steel, and his eyes were full of malice.
In a city full of adventurers, the laws and rules are often far less effective than fists, and they often prefer to fight rather than go to the guild for arbitration.
Lu Li undoubtedly knew this, and immediately joked in a half-joking tone: "Remember not to accidentally beat people to death, I'm still waiting to go back and settle accounts with them." ”
"Hahahaha! I'll take care to save some strength at that time, and I'll just beat me up half-crippled!"
Laughing casually, Will took a piece of parchment about forty centimeters long and thirty centimeters wide from his apprentice's hand, spread it out directly, pointed to the pattern drawn on it, and said, "You came just in time today, just now we were discussing how to renovate the temple of the goddess of deception and strategy, here are a few plans, you can come to that idea." ”
"This ...... This is what you painted?!" Lu Li glanced at the exquisite architectural drawings, and a surprised expression quickly appeared on his face.
He couldn't believe that he could do such a delicate job with the appearance of the other party's rough hands, and there was even a unit of length marked on it, although it was not comparable to the developed mechanical drawing on the earth, but it was not lacking as a basic element of architectural drawing.
On top of that, the parchment also gives several architectural styles, ranging from Greek-style stone structures to cylindrical towers, which would not have been possible without a lot of architectural experience.
"Yes, architecture is one of my few hobbies, and I've been involved in the renovation and maintenance of many of the city's old buildings. Will scratched his head in embarrassment.
A powerful adventurer, a brilliant blacksmith, a good architect......
Well, it seems that the old saying is still good, people can't be good-looking, and the sea can't be measured.
Who would have thought that a seemingly rude strong man is actually an out-and-out high-end talent, especially architectural design, not only to understand the characteristics of various building materials, but also to have a very good mathematical and geometric skills, absolutely not everyone can do it.
Secretly complained that the other party actually had the attribute of a scholar, Lu Li began to calm down and carefully check several renovation plans.
As an engineering graduate, it is not too difficult for him to read the drawings, even if there are some designs that he does not understand occasionally, he can figure it out by asking a few words.
After a few minutes, he finally decided on a design for a curved dome and said, "That's it! How much will it cost?"
Will touched the stubble on his chin, lowered his head and thought about it for a full minute, before he replied in a tone that was not very uncertain: "Maybe it's 30,000 gold pagodas, maybe 50,000 gold pagodas, it depends on what materials you use." Generally speaking, white marble is more expensive, but variegated is much cheaper. ”
"Then use white marble. In addition, I also want to build a larger warehouse nearby, a large house with about four floors, do you have any good suggestions?" Lu Li raised his head and asked rhetorically.
Clearly, he intended to build his own stronghold in Kempera, as many large groups of adventurers do.
After all, as his connection to the other world became closer, he would spend at least half of the next year in Kempera, so it was important to have a place to stay.
"Are there any special requirements for the house, such as the size of the main hall, the size of the basement, etc., and what materials are used, wood or masonry?" Will asked several key questions in one breath.
"Hmm...... There should be no special requirements, just try to build as big as possible. As for the material, let's use ordinary red bricks, which are moderately priced, and the houses built are quite beautiful and sturdy. ”
Because there are so many things needed to build a house, Lu Li is too lazy to transport them from the earth little by little, so he simply builds according to the style of this world.
Anyway, he now has more than 100,000 gold pagodas in hand, plus there are still dozens of tons of steel money that have not been settled, so he doesn't have to worry about funds for the time being.
In addition, the level of construction in the other world is not too bad, not only the technology of firing bricks and stone was invented, but also the mixing of volcanic ash, lime and sand to create a binder similar to ancient Roman cement, and about 60% of Kempera's houses were built with it.
"The masonry structure is big enough and spacious enough...... Well, I see. When this time is over, I'll help you design a beautiful Adventure Squad residency yourself. By the way, don't forget to apply to the guild and pay a land purchase fee, otherwise we won't have the right to start the work. Will finally reminded.
"How much does it cost?"
I don't know if it's because I've lived in the magic capital for too long, as soon as Lu Li heard about the things related to the land and the house, he suddenly felt a sense of horror, and he couldn't help but have terrifying astronomical numbers in his mind.
Will didn't think about it, and casually explained: "As a god-given city and a central city, Kempera's land has always been very valuable, but considering that the temple of the goddess of deception and strategy is relatively remote, and most of the surrounding area is in a state of desolation, so I think that about five thousand gold pagodas are enough, if you still want a courtyard, at most double it, anyway, it is impossible to exceed ten thousand." ”
"Is it only 10,000 gold pagodas? It seems that Irena has been messing around for more than two hundred years, and it is not ......useless at all," Lu Li muttered to himself, glancing at the fairy girl who was frolicking with her sister.
The latter quickly spotted his gaze and immediately grimaced, even brandishing the stick in his hand to make a threat.
However, Lu Li was in a good mood at the moment, and he didn't plan to make himself unhappy, so he directly called Diodorus to his side, explained everything about renovating the temple and building the station, and then returned to the pharmacy, took the healing potion that Mireya had just concocted, and went straight to the area located south of the central axis of the city, and it didn't take long to see the huge spire-shaped building at the end of the street.
At the top of the tower, a flag painted with a golden scale pattern fluttered in the wind, even if it was raining lightly in the sky, it could not make it get wet at all, and the flag must have been blessed with some special power.
Undoubtedly, this is the home of the guild's number one group of adventurers, the Golden Libra Legion.
Standing at the gate, Lu Li raised his head and stared at the hideous black dragon head hanging on the gate, and his eyes instantly burst out with shock and fanaticism that could not be concealed...... (To be continued.) )
