Chapter 94: The Center of the World
An hour later, it was completely dark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Night falls.
William's team of more than 100 people also successfully entered the Hildas Mountains. Along the way, let alone a horned eagle, I couldn't even hear a bird's call, and the quiet in the woods was a little scary.
Dodora's face was a little solemn.
William, however, did not look worried.
He halted the march and took up camp on the spot, preparing to spend the night in the mountains and leave again tomorrow morning.
They took out their knives and axes, cut down a few trees, and gathered them into stakes with their sawtooth teeth.
Some thick wooden branches were used to make torches, and stones, bark, and dead grass found nearby were used to encircle and make bonfires.
Some of the thick gray cloths folded together were taken from the horse's back and made into tents with the wooden stakes laid on the ground.
Grass cut nearby was used to feed the horses tethered to the trees.
Others set up iron pots, poured water and food into them, and made dinner.
The same is true of Sumera.
She sat down beside William, slowly tore the jerky from the package, tore it into the shape of strips of shredded meat, put it in the pot, and then poured some washed mushrooms and wild vegetables, spices, and so on.
After a while, the food in the pot boiled, and wisps of fragrance wafted out.
William smelled the fragrance and his appetite increased.
Sumera served him a bowl.
William took a sip of the broth, and praised it without hesitation: "It's very fragrant, and it tastes good." You'll be in charge of the kitchen from now on. That way, I can taste your craft every day. ”
"Yes!"
Sumeira frowned and smiled, "I can promise you to be a chef for a month." But you have a few questions to answer me. Tell me first, how are you going to build a city on the central sea?"
"You really want to know?"
William looked at Sumera, who was curious, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's very simple to build a city on the sea. It is nothing more than employing a large number of laborers, digging stones, and then transporting them into the center of the sea to fill in a solid foundation, and then building a city. ”
"It sounds simple...... But in practice, it should be difficult, right?" asked Sumera hesitantly.
William nodded, "So, I asked Master Rhine to go to the Magic Holy City and ask Mumudel, the master of the Dwarven Clan, to design the drawings for me. Now calculate the time, at most half a month, Master Mumouder should come. ”
"It should take a lot of money to build a city on the sea, right? Your Lester family's beer and perfume business has made some money, but it should be far from enough!" asked Sumera, puzzled.
"It's really not enough right now. But when the time comes, nature will be enough. William smiled confidently, "Also, you shouldn't use 'you', you should use 'we'." ”
When Sumera heard this, her face suddenly turned rosy, "Okay." Last question, why did you choose your fief in Haiman Province, and it is also such a place as Yuanxinhai?"
When William heard this, he called the captain Dodora, who was picking up the candidates for the sentry patrol, to bring over a scroll map with the topography of the entire Haiman Province.
Pulling apart the scroll and placing it on the ground, William pointed to the Yuanxinhai above, "Take a closer look, what's so special about the Yuanxinhai?"
"Nothing special. It's a circular sea!" Sumera glanced at it and said directly.
William smiled, "Will you take a closer look?"
Curious, Sumera looked at it seriously, and suddenly realized, "I found out." The Yuanxin Sea is the heart of the Haiman Province! Am I right?"
William nodded, "Not bad." Yuanxinhai, located in the center of the Haimanxing Province, is a circular sea area, and the tributaries are very developed, running through the entire Haimanxing Province, and even some tributaries lead directly to overseas. ”
William said, asking Dodora to fetch another map.
This map is a map of the world, and although many places are very crudely depicted, the provinces of the Holy Spirit Empire are close to it.
William's finger touched the boundary line of Shanghai Manxing Province on the map, made a small circle, and said: "Actually, if you look carefully, you will find that the location of Haimanxing Province is very special. ”
"The province of the Sea is bordered on one side by the Imperial Frontier, on the other side by the vast sea, on one side by the Aaronic Mountains inhabited by orcs, and on the other by the Iron Mountains leading to the Elven Forest and the Dwarves. ”
"If you think of the territory of the Holy Spirit Empire, the Aaronic Mountains, the Iron Mountains, and the Elven Forest as one world...... Then, in addition to being the land of the four wars, Haiman Province is also the center of the world!"
"To build a city on the sea in the center of the world, you say, it will take a few years at most for the barren and backward Haiman Province to develop to the scale of the Canaan Province?"
When Sumera heard this, she shook her head, "It should... Soon, right?"
William smiled and nodded, "When the water city on the center of the circle is established, when the time comes, the Sea Man Province will become a complete fulcrum connecting the world." Whether it is by land or water, strong trade will make the province of Haiman prosper quickly. ”
When Sumera heard this, her face did not show much excitement.
With a hint of worry on her face, Sumera suddenly sighed and said worriedly, "I feel like you're playing a little too big." If a race war breaks out, the province of Haiman, which is located in the land of the four wars...... Definitely the first to fall!"
"The greater the risk, the greater the reward. What others dare not do, I will do!"
William said, with a breathtaking glint in his eyes, "Life is a big gamble, what can you do if you don't cheat? ”
Sumera smiled, "I suddenly felt that you were very charming when you spoke just now. ”
"Is it just just now? I've always been charming, okay?" said William with a rare slump.
Sumera gave him a blank look, "Have you boasted about yourself like that?"
"Praise, where is it? I'm just telling a fact. ”
"Do you want face?"
"What do you want to do with your face? I have to wash it every day, it's a lot of trouble. ”
William ate two bowls of broth, and after mixing with Sumera for a while, the horned eagle monster that the bearded man said did not appear.
Dodora did not dare to let her guard down.
He didn't sleep, but personally led five or six people, responsible for patrolling and guarding at night.
Seeing that the horned eagle just didn't appear, William looked at the stars for a while, looked at the moon for a while, and there were beauties under the moon, but William didn't feel the slightest poetry.
He was badly bitten by mosquitoes.
William couldn't take it anymore, so he commanded Dodora a few words, turned and got into the tent.
Inside the tent, the lights flickered, and the two figures gradually overlapped.
Dodora and her guards were dumbfounded.
But within three seconds, with Sumela's scolding, William crawled out in embarrassment.
He coughed twice, returned to his tent with a straight face, turned off the lights, and went to sleep!
