1331. Golden Whistle

The magic caravan stopped at the south gate of Ruit, and Surdak was the first to push the door open, jumping out of the trunk.

Looking up at the tall city gate, there are six magic bed crossbows juxtaposed on top of the huge arrow tower, but these magic weapons are covered in tarpaulin, and black chains are tied around them, and under the city wall is a warehouse of some military supplies, although the entire city wall has been well repaired, and the broken places have been filled with volcanic cement, and the craftsmen still retain the original wall cracks.

The hanging garden at the gate of the city has been almost built, and stone pillars more than twenty meters high rise from the city wall, dragging huge arched stone beams, which form a huge sky corridor above the city wall.

The dense wooden frames have been removed one after another, revealing the entire city gate, which is topped by a beautiful hanging garden.

Many merchants from other countries who come to Ruit for the first time are attracted by the magnificent buildings above the city gates.

The passage at the gate of the city was full of traffic, and a large number of four-wheeled carriages carrying supplies entered the city of Ruit from the outside, and Surdak saw that these four-wheeled carriages were loaded not only with grain, but also with some meat and dry goods, cloth, and ironware, and the items were very mixed, and it could be seen that they were all transported to the dry cloth plane.

"So many supplies are being shipped over there every day?" Surdak didn't think that the inhabitants of the Dry Cloth Plane had such a high spending power.

"Well, the victory of the Ganbu Position in the face of the war against the low-level demons, many lords of Talapa will also secretly go to Mukuso City, it is said that they want to know some details of the battle at that time in the city, after all, they may not meet a similar situation one day." Thea said as she was accustomed to.

"First of all, the lords, and then there were some knights and adventure groups who wanted to enter Gampo and visit some of the famous war sites, in fact, our travel commune also has this kind of tourism project, and those war sites along the way are our tourist attractions, otherwise why do you think there are adventure groups willing to come to us."

"Now the resident population of Mucuso is less than 500,000, the floating population is nearly 300,000, and even the townhouses in the outer city are almost full of residents.

"You may not know that just because of the subsidy of the teleportation tax in Mukuso City, and the opening of the main road to Hammond Town, it is far cheaper to send supplies from the towns around Mukuso City to Mukuso City than from the southern area of Talapakant around Ruyt City, so many merchants will buy supplies from Tanan and send them to Mukuso."

"At least half of the daily needs of the 800,000 citizens are transported from Ruit, which is why there are so many trucks in the city now." Hearing Thea say this, Surdak patted his forehead, originally the meaning of the existence of these planes was to import resources into the Grimm Empire and maintain the prosperity of the Grimm Empire, once the resources of these sub-planes were exhausted, they would be abandoned by the lords.

Unexpectedly, the current Ganbu plane is completely in the opposite direction, and is now absorbing various resources from Tanan to feed itself.

However, it is precisely this business model that has allowed Ruit City and Mukuso City to return to their former appearance in just two years, and even more prosperous than before.

Now there are many commercial houses in both cities, and the whole city can feel that kind of vitality. Surdak ascended the narrow steps to the city walls, which are now not equipped with vertical elevators, and in addition to the steps of the city walls, they had to climb a simple wooden staircase six stories high.

At present, the construction section of the city gate has been largely completed, and the sky garden has taken on the appearance it should be.

In the early spring, a lot of greenery has been transplanted to the arch beams, and in the Surdak project, the columns and construction bridge will be covered with green vines, and the corridors above will be planted with two rows of tall hibiscus trees, and the hanging garden will surround half of the Ruit.

Now that the part that has been repaired has been revealed, the tip of the iceberg has been revealed, and the citizens know that Surdak actually has such a big hand, and in order to be able to raise money to build a hanging garden, he still started a plane war.

Last fall, there were still countless people who criticized it, but with the victory of the plane war, these opposing voices were washed away by the tidal wave of cheers after the victory.

It was only in the spring of this year that many Ruits began to take a serious look at the building under construction.

"It's really grand...... "Sea, halfway up, grumbles as she knocks her legs. For a Canahai Clan, let them use the Transmogrified Twin Leg climbing stairs is definitely a cruel thing.

Surdak stopped, hovered on the jogging platform of the wooden steps, and said to Thea: "In my design blueprint, this hanging garden is not only one floor, but this time the White Forest Plane War can build the most in front of you. Thea asked in surprise, "...... How many layers should it have in your plan? ”

"Four floors." Surdak replied. Baron Martino walked down the wooden staircase from the top and said with a serious face: "If you build it higher, the bottom stone pillar will not be able to bear the weight of the ...... above" Surdak did not answer, but pointed to the eighteen marble-covered columns that had been built in front of him, and said in appreciation: "Martino, you have built this garden very well, and it has exceeded my expectations, especially the reliefs on those columns are exquisite. Baron Martino said disapprehantly: "You can bring a steady stream of volcanic cement from the barren land, and I am only responsible for supervising the construction, so what's so difficult about that." As for the reliefs, it was just the stonemasons who carved the reliefs on the stone slabs, and I would have glued these relief slabs to the columns with pozzolanic cement. "He's a stubborn man, and he's a very thoughtful architect, and once he decides on something, he has to argue about right and wrong.

"But what you just said is to continue to build this hanging garden upwards, I don't agree with this!" Martino said again to Surdak: "These columns are only so thick that if you want to continue to build blocks upwards, you need to add new load-bearing columns underneath......"

“…… Unless I can find those float stones to make the levitation device, if there are enough float stones, I could theoretically make a palace float in the air. Surdak turned and interrupted Baron Martino.

Baron Martino was slightly stunned, he couldn't argue with Surdak's idea, because it was theoretically achievable.

However, the biggest and only problem with this idea is the 'floating stone'. Martino said, "I know, but all three of the Grimm Empire's floating mines were abandoned many years ago...... So this idea is simply not possible, let's go, let's go and see the road to Tabei! Baron Manino stepped forward, on the suspended wooden staircase, and pointed to a large road outside the city that went straight north, and said to Surdak.

The group climbed up the wooden staircase to the main cloister of the Sky Garden, where the view became quite wide, and the road to the north of Talapakant was more clearly visible.

Luke and Charley, who were supervising the construction of the Sky Garden, heard that Surdak had come to inspect the progress of the project, and they hurried over from the construction site where the cement columns were poured.

These two young men who came out of the village of Vol and expanded the construction team of the first engineering team of Mukuso to nearly 10,000 people, and they are the actual leaders of this huge engineering team, and now they have settled their home in the city of Ruyt.

The group went to the cement pillar under construction, and Surdak learned about the construction of the site, where Surdak once again felt the jungle woven of reinforced concrete, full of modern atmosphere in memory.

He held on to the gray-white cement wall with one hand, looking at the cement pillars surrounded by wooden planks, and couldn't help but close his eyes to perceive the last remaining fragments of memory in the depths of the sea of spiritual consciousness.

After a long time, Surdak opened his eyes, looked around with a somewhat silent expression, and invited Charlie, Luke, and Baron Martino back to the castle for dinner before leaving.

…… On the way back to the castle, several magic caravans at the intersection in front of you caused road congestion, and this is the only way to enter the aristocratic quarter, if you want to take a detour, you have to walk along the inner city wall to the east and west city walls, and then you can enter the noble district through the passage there.

The coachman wanted to jump out of the car and run to the front to see what was going on. Thea performed the 'Boundary Sight Technique' in the carriage, and just saw that the reason for the congestion was due to the protruding decorations of the two magic caravans with noble insignia and twisted together, and the fastest way to deal with it was to cut off the place where they were twisted together, but the coachmen on both sides seemed to be arguing, and the nobles in the carriage refused to come forward, so they could only block there for a while.

Surdak didn't want to judge the right or wrong of such things, as is customary among the nobles, low status is your fault.

But now that the two sides were at a stalemate, it seemed to be troublesome, so he waved his hand decisively and asked the coachman to drive the magic caravan around the eastern side of the city wall.

The road here is narrower and in poor condition, and the magic caravans of the nobles rarely go this way. The magic caravan drove slowly in the middle of the road, and on both sides of the street were the stalls of hawkers, and some artisans who had come down from the city walls were scattered along the street, and they probably had some money to spare, and they would stop and buy some snacks in front of the street stalls.

The whole street is filled with a strong smoke and fire, and many residents of Ruit City also come here to buy snacks.

Pedestrians saw that the magic caravan almost all avoided it, and Surdak also teased Charley, is it that the food at the construction site is very ordinary, so many craftsmen will run out to buy street food, Charlie can only complain about the influx of materials into Ruyt City, which directly leads to the rich variety and low price of these street food, and there are always some craftsmen who are tired of eating the food on the construction site, so they will run out to change the taste.

While the group was chatting in the magic caravan, Thea suddenly let out a cry of surprise, and then reached out and pulled the rattle bell to stop the coachman.

Without saying a word, she pushed the door open and jumped out of the carriage and walked briskly back. Surdak turned his head through the back window and saw a slightly familiar figure sitting on the side of the street crying, his hands still in black iron chains, and three knights of the guard battalion riding beside him, urging her, as if this was going to take her somewhere.

Several of the guards battalion knights saw Thea walking over, apparently the one who knew her and was explaining something.

Surdak looked at the dusty figure sitting on the ground again, and remembered that he had seen it in the tourist commune in the morning, and it was the sweet-looking female swordsman who came over to talk to her, but she didn't expect that she was locked up by the guard camp now.

He hesitated, then stepped out of the carriage and came to Thea's side and asked, "What's the matter?" A knight of the guard battalion saw that Surdak was wearing a demonic pattern and immediately responded: "My lord, this group of people have been caught stealing in the city, and according to the laws of Ruyt, their mastermind will be imprisoned, and the other accomplices will be expelled from Ruyt City." "Those young people are clearly a group of young swordsmen who have just graduated from the academy, and their eyes have a longing for the expectation of an adventure life, and it can even be said that they don't understand anything about the outside world, and they can't see the appearance of thieves at all.

"What did they steal?" Surdak asked calmly.

"A bag of gold." The knight of the guard battalion replied. Surdak glanced at the female swordsman sitting on the ground and asked the knight of the guard battalion, "Is the evidence conclusive?" ”

"Yes." The guard battalion knight continued. Surdak's voice was a little heavier, and he said, "Let the two of them stay here and wait, and you go and show me the trial notes." Seeing that Surdak did not reveal her identity, Thea showed her identification badge to the three knights of the guard battalion.

Probably seeing the position of the Xiya City Hall, the captain of the knight of the guard battalion standing in the middle hurriedly stood up and said: "There is no trial, the verdict was handed down on the spot, here are the verdict notes!" Then he took out the palm-sized parchment notebook in his arms, which was only a few words, and Surdak took it and looked at it casually, looked up and asked the knight captain: "The note says that they stole a pocket of gold coins from Baron Cerves?" Without waiting for the captain of the guard battalion to answer, he turned to the female swordsman sitting on the ground and asked, "Are you......?" What do you want to say? The swordswoman looked up and saw Surdak, and immediately remembered that he was the knight in the Tourist Commune in the morning, and then, as if grasping at the last straw, she hurriedly said: "The pocket of gold coins is ours, we didn't steal it, they forced us to write those records, and if we don't write, we will be put in prison......" Her voice was full of grievances, and it was obvious that this was the first time she had experienced such a thing.

Surdak didn't look at the three guards camp knights next to him who had already come back to their senses, and Thea saw that Surdak had a straight face and had no intention of continuing, so he immediately blew on his chest. The former golden whistle.

Hearing this whistle, the three guards battalion knights standing on the side could of course hear it, and on the first day of their tenure, they would all be specially trained to memorize several unique whistles, which was a signal to the surrounding area guard battalion knights and the magistrates of the security brigade to put down everything they were doing and immediately go to the place where the whistle sounded.

There were two of these peculiar whistles in Ruyt, and they were supposed to be in the hands of the consul and the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, but the two highest posts in Ruyt were held by one person, and they thought of one thing—the consul of Ruyt, had returned yesterday.

Although he only glanced at it from a distance yesterday, the blurred figure and the Constructed Knight in front of him overlapped infinitely, and the Constructed Knight Captain's face became more and more pale......
