Vol.3 Overlord's Continent 418 The Secret of the East (2)
418 Secrets of the East (2)
"Things are complicated in the eastern steppes. ......." Duo Weiyan heard the fat man inquiring about the eastern grassland, and his calm face suddenly became angry
"My Kugit Khanate has dominated the steppe for three hundred years, with thousands of tribes and millions of people, and there is never a shortage of warriors who fight to the death, and there is no shortage of brave and senseless generals......
"If it weren't for ......" Duo Weiyan said to the place of indignation, his voice suddenly stopped, his mouth opened, but he didn't continue,
Duo Weiyan, who wanted to stop talking, made the fat man feel that there must be something secret involved, otherwise with Duo Weiyan's uprightness, he would never be as fragmented as he is now.
This was a great opportunity to learn about the secrets of the division of the court of Kujit, and the fat man would not let go of such an opportunity, so he first asked the guards to bring him a bottle of Aturu from Savaran in the south.
This liquor is light blue in color and is a favorite high spirit of sea crews.
This wine is not uncommon in the south, but it is a cherished thing in the north because it is made from a grain called Verahu in Savaran.
It is purified after three distillation and three brewing, and under the current sealed conditions, after the long-distance bumps of the rugged road and the long-term exposure of the hot sun,
For every 100 bottles shipped to Kugit, 95 bottles will lose their original aroma, and the remaining 5 bottles must be drunk immediately within three days, otherwise it will have an unbearable sour taste
Therefore, most caravans were reluctant to transport this laborious and very loss-making southern wine.
The fat man also found this thing from the cellar of the business alliance branch, where there were stacks of ice collected in winter, and it was very rare to keep 2 bottles.
When Duo Weiyan heard the fat man say that it was Aturu wine, his eyes lit up, his tongue lightly added to his lips, and the upright and bold personality of the steppe people liked this kind of throat-burning liquor the most.
It's a Kugit executive like Duo Weiyan, who has only heard of this kind of wine a few times, and this time he had the opportunity to drink it here at the fat man, and he was willing to move there, and the fat man asked the chef of the business alliance to serve a few southern-style dishes, and he sat by the window with Duo Weiyan and ate,
A whole bottle of Arturu spirits was quickly poured into Duo Weiyan's stomach, and the effect of the spirits showed on Duo Weiyan's face, red as if it was about to drip blood from the skin.
The fat man looked at Duo Weiyan's drum boss, his bloodshot eyes had lost focus, and he knew that the fire was almost over, so he began to inquire about the situation in the eastern grassland
For a whole afternoon, from Duo Weiyan's drunken words, the fat man learned that Hamar in the east and Tulga in the center were originally areas directly controlled by the royal court, but a coup d'état involving the secret power of the king artificially divided the most lush area of the Kugit grassland into two pieces.
The two most powerful tribes in the west, the royal court of Duolun in the east, and the two most powerful tribes in Kujit, because of a woman, from the original closest comrade-in-arms, became enemies of each other.
When the fat man continued to ask about the details of the infighting, Duo Weiyan's face suddenly became very strange, no matter how the fat man said anything, he didn't want to say it anymore, just blindly drooped his head and lay on the table
This guy is drunk" The fat man flicked Duo Wei Yan's head completely lying on the table with his hand, and stood up helplessly and said to Hu Keqi behind him, "You arrange for a few people to send him to the entrance of the second floor, and the matter of our meeting must be kept secret, tell the guards at the entrance, you found a high-ranking nobleman drunk and collapsed in a tavern on the side of the road"
Seeing off Duo Weiyan, the fat man also left the hotel, preparing to return to his temporary residence,
Horse-drawn carriages traveled through the winding and winding streets of Cloudsdale as there were few people on the streets because of the problem that the shops were mostly closed,
For the Kujiit people, the vast grassland outside the city is their ideal residence, and the effect of the majestic city in the clouds for spiritual worship and refuge is far greater than the residential function of the city itself.
The general residential area is on the second floor, except for a small number of merchant mercenaries, the lowest floor is mostly open to the people of the tribe to take refuge, when building, the use of soft soil dug out of the artificial lake outside the city, so the lower streets of Cloud City are damp all year round, not suitable for long-term living, often every six months, the residents of the lower class have to leave the city to go to the periphery station
For such a unique design, the fat man disagreed, according to the fat man's understanding of the cloud layer, the cloud city originally had only two floors, as for the third floor, it is just a derivative of the main body of the city,
The area of the holy mountain Hailar itself is not large, and the city in the clouds built on the mountain is not much bigger, at most it is only within a radius of five miles, and the population is only about 20,000.
The expansion of the third floor originated 15 years ago, when a princess named Sisehuls ordered the expansion of Cloudsdale City, in order to allow the city to rapidly expand into a power center that integrates politics, spirituality, and economy.
Princess Scehuls ordered the excavation of artificial lakes on the outskirts of Cloudsdale to store rainwater,
This clever move solved the drinking water problem that had plagued Cloudsdale for a long time, and greatly expanded the outskirts of Cloudsdale with a large amount of soft soil produced by excavating the lake.
A third level of Cloudsdale was constructed to allow the clan to shelter from hurricanes and live temporarily.
It was a genius design, although the fat man didn't know much about what it was like to build at the time
But on both sides of the street where the carriage was traveling, the fat man clearly saw two rows of ditches covered with stone slabs, and it was clear that they were two sewers that were used to drain the rain when it rained.
This undoubtedly surprised the fat man, and he admired the princess Kugit a little more than that
The fat man from the modern era knows very well that the city is not a simple collection of buildings,
The builder of the city needs not only to be careful, but also to be wise.
And this princess of the royal court, named Si Saihules, used her own ingenious thinking to handle this qiē just right.
Artificial excavation of lakes to collect water, expansion of dual-purpose public sublevels that can be used for refuge and business, in order to attract a large number of tribes and talents to gather in Cloudsdale City, and build sewers to divert mountain floods, so that this small city built on the mountain can expand rapidly.
A qiē looks incredible,
However, in just 15 years, the wisdom left by that woman has created this amazing majestic city in front of her.
Time passes in an indescribable tranquility,
After enough supplies arrived, the Prairie Laren Warrior Tournament was held as scheduled.
Duo Weiyan enthusiastically sent someone to send an invitation, but the fat man considered that at such a critical moment, it was not appropriate for him to show his face as his own identity, so he sent Hu Keqili to watch the ceremony instead of Vicchia
The cool wind of the grassland blew on the fat man's face, and through the open window of the room, the fat man could see a purebred Supor war horse galloping into his yard, and several guards hurriedly surrounded him
"Grand Duke Aichemore urgent," Hukochili pushed open the door of the fat man's room with a solemn face, holding a fiery red scroll in his hand and shouted: "The Left Guard Department has surrendered to Ruierdian yesterday, and the 30,000 Ruierdian forwards bypassed the mountains on the west side of Aichemore and approached the city of Saweitu, the outpost of Tulga
