189. East No. 1 Station
On March 25th, the weather was bright and the earth was warmer, and although you still need to wear a thick fur before the sun is in the sky, you can already wear it lightly from noon to afternoon.
The main trunk of the Galloping Horse River has been unsealed, only a few tributaries have some ice surface, the ground is also green, and all kinds of small beasts can be seen on the grassland.
At the East No. 1 Post Station, about 40 kilometers east of Yeqi City, all the lords have been mobilized, collecting all the gravel, sand, and soft stones from the riverbed that can be found nearby, and piling them up in the center of the camp.
As early as 5 days ago, all the post stations received a direct order from the lord, asking all the people in the territory to pile up a mound of earth in the center of the camp, which could dig trenches, mine soft stone, and pile as big as they could.
There is no reason for the people to know this order, but no one dares to question it, but some of the post stations will be meticulous in carrying it out, and some will make trouble.
Jim is the son of the housekeeper in East Station 1, and his father, Jim Sr., was once a knight steward, and was appointed as the Demonless Housekeeper of East Station 1 a month ago.
Old Jim was getting older, so all the orders received at the inn were carried out by his son Jim, and they also did not understand the meaning of the orders, but little Jim guessed that the mounds were used to build a house for the station.
After thinking that it was for the post station, Jim naturally put a lot of effort into doing things, and personally urged the leaders to dig a trench for 5 days in a row, and put the soil from the trench in the center of the site.
Today was even more different for Jim, because just outside the inn, there was a huge black carriage parked, which was the carriage of Lord Viscount Lanter, who had been in the carriage since he arrived outside the inn last night.
"Father, why did you say that Lord Viscount only asked us for some naan and raw meat? Don't you need us to cook, and you don't need us to give up our tents? Jim, who was not in the middle of the overseer, ran to his father and asked in a whisper.
"What do you know, Lord Viscount's car is much more comfortable than a tent" Old Jim looked at his son with some puzzlement, and then remembered that his son was just a young baron's attendant when he was a child, and he had never seen the luxurious carriage of knights.
"Then why did so many people go to the salt mines the other day?" In the past few days, there have been a lot of urgent deliveries sent and received at the post station, one of which is to ask a convoy of no less than 70 pack animals to go to the camp.
"This is the official business of the territory, and you can't discuss it! Keep your mouth shut, adults can hear you! Old Jim reprimanded his son in a whisper, but his eyes glanced at the carriage from time to time, lest the lord should ask him to pass.
Towards noon, Old Jim and the Demon Bearers of the Territory were summoned to the carriage to be met by Rand.
"You're all doing well," said old Jim, the lord dismounted from the carriage, and he was handsome and handsome,
"Before lunch, all the demon supporters will help me go there to hunt a little, and the non-demon ones will go to pick a little potato seedlings" The lord's hand pointed casually, and everyone in the post station was supported to 4 or 500 meters away.
Since it is the lord's request, then everyone must do it, old Jim squatted on the ground very seriously picking the tender seedlings of the sweet potatoes, but heard his son's small murmur.
"We had just moved the sand and gravel for a morning, and we didn't even have a bite to eat, so we came over to pick leaves," the son squatted beside old Jim, so that only his father could hear the voice.
"If you have the strength to talk and pick more leaves, it is estimated that we will go back in a while" Old Jim's words were as careless as his actions, he had been a territorial steward for more than ten years, and Old Jim knew the selfishness of the lord, and this practice of taking the lords away showed that the viscount had some magical equipment, and he wanted to use it but didn't want to be seen.
"Do you know anything?" Jim watched his dad's slow movements, and kept guessing.
Before Old Jim could speak, there was a loud noise in the direction of the camp, so loud that all the demons-free and demon-supporters looked at it.
"That... It was "Jim saw that the dirt and rocks they had piled up 500 meters away were being swept up by a whirlwind.
Between the "booms", the black earth, yellow sand, and cyan stones accumulate together and gather and squeeze in the whirlwind, forming first several columns, then a wall, and even stairs and floors.
"My God-Emperor." Old Jim's eyes were no longer as bright as they had been when he was younger, but he could still feel the power of magic in the shadow of the lake, and he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand that was not very clay, but he didn't want more tears to flow.
。。。 At the edge of the caravanserais, Rand, Wendy, and Lili sat in a carriage and watched as Tenia performed the stunt of building the castle for an hour.
While at the salt mine camp, Tania spent two days building a fortress on the size of Rot's Castle, as well as a salt mining workshop, a coal mining workshop, and repairing some of the dormitories in the coal mines.
Of course, Tenya doesn't always rely on her own magic, and there is still plenty of energy in the leylines to cover all of this.
Beginning on the 22nd, Rand took a daily journey of 80 kilometers to harden the road and build a building for each inn.
The Great Goblin is a qualitative leap compared to the Magic Goblin, and if the Magic Goblin is less than 1 meter long to build an earthen wall, it is somewhat similar
"Walls", the big goblin building is like the laser additive of Rand's previous life, the foundation, columns, walls, sorghum, slabs, and finally even left window holes, a four-story main building, a six-story annex building, with a 50-meter lookout tower, a circle of about 10 meters of city walls and 4 corner towers of small fortresses are direct
"Print" is finished. Such a building is equipped with stone-like floors, staircases, sewers, fireplaces, ondols and flues, and a small basement.
"No, no, I didn't feel it yesterday, why are you so tired today" Tenya, who had completed 6 such buildings in 3 days, was already exhausted, and complained to Rand as soon as the construction was completed.
"That's because I was able to go back to the salt mine yesterday morning and the day before yesterday, but not today" Rand immediately greeted Tania and helped the magic elf into the carriage,
"Let's go directly to the new industrial zone,"
"Ah, why do you still have to work, I'm going to take a break in the leylines of Night Kir City" Tenia kept expressing her displeasure with the crusher, but the magical elements around her had already begun to spin, and an invisible whirlwind was gradually hardening the road beneath the carriage.
As early as 3 days ago, Rand designed a standardized post castle based on the salt mine castle, which on the one hand can be moved in by the current lords, and on the other hand, these castles can be divided into subordinates as barony domains in the future.
Considering that Tenia will be resident in Night Qicheng in the future, Rand simply took one step and chose to make the post castle have the scale of a baron's castle, which can be directly used in the future.
In fact, according to Tenya's magic, it is impossible to complete the construction of two post castles in one day, and the first two days can be done because each time the construction is completed, Rand directly rides on the fire and takes her back to the salt mine, replenishing the magic with the leyline, and it was not until yesterday that the second castle was built, and he took the carriage with Wendy and Lili.
"My lord? You've given them all fiefs, and you're going to build them castles? Wendy and Lili were amazed to hear Rand's plans for the castle.
"Not to build them a castle, but to let them defend my watchtower!" Rand looked at the tower,
"A watchtower equipped with observation runes can observe at least 30 kilometers away, and the two towers can communicate with each other through observation devices." Rand is constantly refining his ideas.
"But there is a 40-kilometer gap between the two towers?" Lili found a blind spot.
“。。” Rand glanced at Lili
"I'll just tell you to do more math problems, look at the distance of 30 kilometers is to see the ground 30 kilometers away, you still have a tower with 50 meters here, and I also give them a telescope with runes!"
"That's so coincidental to be able to see the tower 40 kilometers away." Lili was all mouthful, very unconvinced,
"Besides, even if the two sides can see each other, how can two people communicate so far away?"
"Passwords, of course." Rand said proudly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After the Lante carriage left, the people of East No. 1 finally knew why the lord had let them pile up sand and gravel for 5 days, and let them leave just now.
"My God Emperor, what the hell was that just now?" Jim squirmed.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," said old Jim, his eyes fixed on the castle for a long time.
Because there was no order from the lord, the demon supporters and the non-demon did not dare to enter the building, so they could only bury the pot in the open space between the two buildings to cook first, and it was not until the afternoon express passed by here that the two lord's orders were brought.
1. Ask all the people in the post station to move into the annex building 2. Reward Old Jim, the demonless butler of East No. 1 Post Station.
