Chapter 191 189. East No. 1 Station

The weather was sunny on March 25, and the earth was getting warmer. Although you still needed to wear thick furs before the sun was shining in the sky, you could already wear lighter clothes after noon to afternoon.

The main trunk of the Benma River has been unsealed, and there is only some ice on some tributaries. The ground has also turned green, and various small animals can be seen on the grassland.

At East No. 1 Station, about 40 kilometers east of Yeqi City, all the residents have been mobilized to collect all the gravel, sand, and pebbles from the river bed that can be found nearby, and pile them into the center of the camp.

As early as 5 days ago, all the inns received direct orders from the lords, requiring all the people in the territory to pile up a mound of soil in the center of the camp. They could dig trenches or quarry soft rocks. In short, they could pile it up as big as they could.

No citizen knows the reason for this order, but no one dares to question it. It's just that some stations will execute it meticulously, while others will mess up.

Jim is the son of the butler at East No. 1 Station. His father, Jim, was once a knight's butler and was appointed as the Demon-Free Butler of East No. 1 Station a month ago.

Old Jim is old, so all orders received by the inn are carried out by his son Jim. Neither of them understands the meaning of the orders, but little Jim guesses that these mounds are used to build a house for the inn. After thinking about it, they are for

It was used for the inn, so Jim naturally worked very hard. He personally urged the residents to dig trenches for five days in a row and piled the soil from the trenches in the center of the site.

Today is even more different for Jim, because there is a huge black carriage parked just outside the inn. It is the carriage of Lord Viscount Lant. The Viscount has been in the carriage since he arrived outside the inn last night.

"Father, why do you think the Viscount only asked us for some naan and raw meat? He didn't need us to cook or give up the tent?" Jim, who was not supervising the work, ran to his father's side and asked in a low voice.

"What do you know? The Viscount's car is much more comfortable than the tent." Old Jim looked at his son with some confusion, then remembered that when he was a child, his son was just a follower of a certain baron and had never seen the luxurious carriages of knights.

"Then why did so many people go to the salt mines a few days ago?" The post station has received and sent many urgent deliveries in the past few days, one of which requested a transport team of no less than 70 beasts of burden to go to the camp.

"This is the official business of the territory, and it is not something you can discuss! Shut your mouth quickly, adults can hear you!" Old Jim reprimanded his son in a low voice, but his eyes glanced at the carriage from time to time, for fear that the lord would ask him to go over.

When it was almost noon, Old Jim and the demon-lovers in the territory were called to the carriage and accepted by Lant.

"You all did a good job," in the eyes of old Jim, the Lord got off the carriage. He was tall and handsome.

"Before lunch, all the demon-loving ones will help me go over there to hunt some food, and those without demons will go pick some potato seedlings." The lord pointed his hand casually, and everyone in the inn was sent 4,500 meters away.

Since it was the request of the lord, everyone must fulfill it. Old Jim squatted on the ground and picked the tender potato seedlings carefully, but he heard his son whispering.

"We had just moved gravel all morning, and we didn't even have a bite to eat, so we were sent here to pick leaves." The son squatted next to Old Jim, so that his voice could only be heard by his father.

"If you have the energy to pick more leaves, we will probably go back soon." Old Jim's words were as careless as his actions. Having been the steward of the territory for more than ten years, Old Jim knew the selfishness of the lord, and this kind of manipulation

The way Minzhi left showed that the viscount had some kind of magic equipment and wanted to use it but didn't want anyone to see it.

"Do you know something?" Jim looked at his father's slow movements and kept guessing.

"Rumble!" Before Old Jim could speak, bursts of noises came from the direction of the camp. The sound was so loud that all the demon-free people and demon-supporting ones looked over.

"That...that's" Jim saw that the earth and rocks they had piled up 500 meters away were being swept up by a whirlwind, with "rumbling" black earth, yellow sand and cyan stones piled up.

When they came together, they continued to gather and squeeze in the whirlwind, first forming several columns, then a wall, and even stairs and floors could be seen.

"My God Emperor..." Old Jim's eyes were no longer as bright as they were when he was young, but he could still feel the power of magic from the vague shadows. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands that didn't have much clay.

But I didn't want more tears to flow out.

...

At the edge of the inn camp, Lant, Wendy and Lili were all sitting in the carriage, watching Tania perform the stunt of building the castle for an hour.

While in the salt mine camp, Tenia spent two days building a fortress comparable to Lot Castle, as well as a salt mining workshop, a coal mining workshop, and repaired some dormitories in the coal mine caves.

Of course, Taniya did not all accomplish it by relying on her own magic power. There was still abundant energy in the earth's veins to cover all of this.

Starting from the 22nd, Lant took Tenia on an 80-kilometer journey every day, hardening the road surface and building a building for each station.

Compared with the magical goblin, the big goblin is a qualitative leap. If the magic goblin less than 1 meter long builds an earth wall and it is somewhat similar to a "fortress wall", then the building built by the big goblin is like the laser additives of Lant's previous life.

, foundation, columns, walls, beams, boards, and finally even window holes, a four-story (6 meters per floor) main building, a six-story (3 meters per floor) auxiliary building, and a 50-meter observation tower.

, a small fortress with a city wall of about 10 meters and four turrets was "printed" directly.

Such a building is equipped with stone-like floors, stairs, sewers, fireplaces, fire pits and flues, and a small basement.

"I can't do it, I can't do it. I didn't feel it yesterday. Why are I so tired today?" Tania, who had completed 6 such buildings in 3 days, was already exhausted. As soon as she finished the building, she complained to Lant.

.

"That's because I was able to return to the salt mine yesterday morning and the day before yesterday, but I can't today." Lant immediately met Tania and helped the magic goblin into the carriage. "Let's go directly to the new industrial zone."

"Ah, why do you still have to work? I want to go to the leylines of Yeqi City to take a rest." Tania continued to express her dissatisfaction with the squeezer, but the magic elements around her had begun to rotate, an invisible whirlwind

The road under the carriage is gradually being hardened.

As early as 3 days ago, Lant designed a standardized inn castle based on the salt mine castle. On the one hand, the current territorial residents can move in, and on the other hand, these castles can be entrusted to subordinates as baronies in the future.

Taking into account that Taniya would be stationed in Yeqi City in the future, Lant simply decided to make the station castle the size of a baron's castle in one step, so that it could be directly entrusted and used in the future.

In fact, according to Tenia's magic power, it is impossible to complete the construction of the two station castles in one day. It was possible to do it in the first two days because after each construction, Lant directly rode on the fire and took her back to the salt mine, replenishing it with ley lines.

Magic, until yesterday after building the second castle, I took a carriage ride with Wendy and Lili.

"Sir? You have given them land and you still want to build a castle for them?" Wendy and Lili were surprised when they heard Lant's plan for the castle.

"Instead of building a castle for them, let them defend my watchtower!" Lant looked at the tower and said,

"A watchtower equipped with observation runes can observe a range of at least 30 kilometers away, and the two towers can communicate with each other through observation equipment." Lant continued to improve his idea.

"But the distance between the two towers is 40 kilometers?" Lili found a blind spot.

"..." Lant glanced at Lili, "I asked you to do more math problems. Looking at a distance of 30 kilometers means you can see the ground 30 kilometers away. You still have a 50-meter tower here. I'll give it to you.

They have telescopes with runes on them!"

"It's such a coincidence that we can see the tower 40 kilometers away." Lili pouted, very unconvinced, "Besides, even if the two parties can see each other, how can two people communicate with each other so far away?"

"Of course it's the password." Lant said proudly, with a smile on his lips.

.....

After the Lant carriage left, the residents of East No. 1 finally knew why the lord had allowed them to pile up sand and gravel for five days and not let them leave just now.

"My God Emperor, what on earth was that just now?" Jim squirmed.

"I told you that you shouldn't ask questions, don't ask blind questions," Old Jim said, staring at the castle for a long time and refusing to leave.

Because there was no order from the lord, neither the demon-wielding ones nor the demon-free ones dared to enter the building. They could only bury pots in the open space between the two buildings for cooking. It was not until the express delivery passed by in the afternoon that they brought the

Two lords' orders.

1. Request all residents in the station to move into the annex building

2. Commendation to Old Jim, the devil-free butler of East No. 1 Station.
