"... Steel was forged by fire and heavy hammer. This city is also the same! From several huts made of adobe and dried grass, to the steel castle standing on the banks of Rose Lake today, we have experienced countless disasters, fire! War!

famine!"

"But -my beloved compatriots, remember what I said -no matter how disasters, they have never succeeded in defeating us, and there is no one time! In Yu Ember, we are reborn! And it becomes stronger!"

"This city, and people growing in this city have a spirit, a brave! Stubborn! Unyielding spirit! It flows in you, me, every Solinen people's blood vessels and bones.

This spirit supports us in the streets, houses and warehouses to ashes again and again, and rebuild them again and again ... "

A grated man in a purple Chinese dress stands at the top of the steps of the municipal palace that has not been washed away, and is generous to the tens of thousands of citizens on the city square.

His left hand was on the waist, and his right hand was accompanied by the frustration of the tone, and he waved passionately.

The black crowd on the square is like orchestra, which was directed by his right hand, and issued a round of light and cheers than a round.

Standing by the window, looking at the figure on the steps from a distance, John Serveit sighed: "I'm still not as good as him."

"As a negotiating opponent, you are more tricky than him -I am not deliberately complimening." Wintes leaned against the window frame, and the interval between the two rounds of cheers opened: "But I also have to say honestly, Wu Popper also said, Wu Popper

The mayor's ability, others can't learn. "

The impassioned, magnificent words that echoed on the square alone, it is really difficult to imagine that they came from a timid mayor of the timid mayor who was forcibly dragged out of the house by the gendarmerie ..

When the municipal palace encountered an explosion attack, Mr. Mayor, who reflected the speed, abandoned parliament and colleagues for the first time, escaped from the Municipal Palace from the Secret Road with a guard, and returned to the mansion.

But Paul Wulbo has this kind of ability: as long as you put him gorgeous robes, put on precious wigs, put a thick layer of powder, and push him to the public.

Don't worry.

"I thought that Mayor Wu Popper was just good at performing." Winter said his chin and said leisurely: "But now I find that for Mayor Wuper, the performance is the instinct he cannot control.

He is a slave to perform. "

"Steel castle now needs a leader who can boost people's fighting spirit." Selwitt opened an excuse for Paul Wulp: "Besides Adam, Eve is expelled from the Garden of Eden, and no one is absolutely free.

Sir, what are your slaves? "

"I?"

This question was somewhat unexpected. He thought for a while and answered seriously: "I might be a slave to perform?"

Serwit's eyes are like a blade: "What role are you playing?"

"At least in the steel castle." Winter said slowly: "I play a positive role."

Server won't be able to do it, or the face that lacks emotional fluctuations, he pulled the curtains: "Let's go out and walk around."

Wintes certainly agreed.

Servite led the road. The two left the municipal square, neither ride on horseback nor a car, did not take guards, and did not wear any cricket medals that explained their identities.

Standing on the south bank, looking at it, between the black broken walls, some people who did not go to the municipal square to listen to the speech are cleaning the ruins.

After the warehouses of various commercial workshops, after the store was claimed, the garrison's blockade of the South Bank announced that it was not left anyway.

The control of the North Shore followed the relaxation, the market resumed its business, and the church was also open to the victims. There were also some homeless victims being evacuated to villages and towns outside the city.

Maybe Yu's calories have not dissipated, but the steel castle has been on the way to reconstruction.

People wipe their tears, push the slag and rubble, and collect the stone and wood that can be used.

"No matter how many times." Selwit looked at the perseverance, and the people who worked their heads whispered: "I will marvel for the will of human beings."

Winter stood silently without talking.

After a while, Winter asked: "Have you submitted a new plan on the South Bank at the Municipal House?"

"Yes." Serveit walked towards the ash pile of the roadside, and said unwillingly: "The original neighborhood on the south bank was centered on Elin Church, and the ground layers were wrapped. The layout of the streets and districts was logical.

Since you have the opportunity to completely rebuild it, you can never walk around. "

Wintes politely answered: "Very visible idea."

Server watched a small meeting and drew a carbonized mouse body from the ashes: "Some people say that on the night of the fire, the mice on the south bank jumped into the Rose River, all frozen to the ice.

All of them were burned to death, even the mice in the basement could not escape. Have you witnessed it? "

"I didn't pay attention."

"Hope is true." Serveit buried the mouse corpse back to the ash pile and said lowly: "This may be able to completely cut off the plague of the steel castle."

After another way, the two arrived in front of the ruins of Elin Cathedral.

Elin's Cathedral was almost razed to the ground in the fire, and there was only one bell tower that was unwilling to collapse.

On the night of the fire, the lead plates covered by the church roof were melted and flowed to the street. Guting orthodox has not had time to recycle the lead material, so at first glance, the slate roads around the church seemed to be plated on a layer of dim silver.

Strolling in the ruins of the church, Servit said, "What a good cathedral, but unfortunate

"I can't agree with me." Wintes rubbed the tip of his nose: "Fire Tornado is just a tornado. The Erine Cathedral is a stone building.

The exterior repair bracket was burned and the roof lost support, so it collapsed. "

Serwit asked: "Are you present?"

"Everyone present saw it." Winter replied.

Servit did not delve into it. He looked around the church's residual wall foundation, and suddenly asked Winter: "Do you know how the steel castle started?"

"Because of iron ore?"

"Did you see the mine in the steel castle?"

Wintes thinks for a moment: "No."

"The mine is on the side of the mountain." Selwit raised his hand to the North: "There is also a valley with the steel castle, there is also a small town where miners live in, called Hongshi Town.

Filter, furnish in Hongshi Town, and then use the carriage to the steel castle to smell. "

Winter asked etiquette: "Do you seem to know much about mining?"

"My father, the grandfather are all miners." Serveit's answer: "My father lost half of his feet when he fought the Emperor Richard, and was forced to leave the army.

With his debt, he and my grandfather had to sell the only small piece of land, moved from Newhair to Solinen, and rely on Xiajing to use mining to raise a family. "

Winter nodded gently, listening without speaking.

"My story is actually irrelevant." Servitt stopped and stared at the Rose River in front of it:

"I want to ask you, why is it a steel castle?

In terms of natural endowments, although the steel castle has the hydraulic power of the Rose River, Hongshi Town is closer to the mine. Monta also has not only iron ore in the steel castle. Why is the steel castle rising and becoming a steel castle?

Hongshi Town, which once owned iron ore, is now just a vassal of steel castle. There is no iron smelting furnace in Hongshi Town, and even the property rights of those mines are in the hands of the black castle.

The wealth comes, and the miners in Hongshi Town can only work hard in the mud water. Why? "

Winterus remembered the story of "Grand Saint Joseph into the workshop, and promised the ironmaker to be prosperous and prosperous".

Regarding the authenticity of this story, the steel castle people never doubt. They will not only listen to the children, but also worship the great saints as the main guarantee of the steel castle, and the scene of the "Great Saint Joseph into the workshop".

Decoration in every important occasion of the city.

"It may be the gift of God." Wintes said it was always the right answer.

"Wrong!" Selwit said categorically: "Only those who do not know why they succeed can paralyze the rationality with destiny and God.

Insult. "

Winter could not help but look at Mr. Mou in three points. He sighed slightly, and asked Mr. MPs to continue to say.

"The answer is simple." Servit stepped on the ground: "Just at your feet."

Wintes raised his eyebrows: "Road?"

"Yes, Lu. Steel Castle defeated Hongshi Town by building roads."

"Please also talk about it."

Servite is holding a cane and a stable tone: "In the country of mountains, road construction is a sacred cause comparable to the church. You know why?"

Winter answered without thinking: "The cost is too high."

"Yes, because the road repair is too expensive, it is often possible to start funds for multi -party fundraising. Since it costs money, the investor naturally wants to ask for a return. Therefore, Monta is a level that collects tolls everywhere.

Self -toll maintenance. "

Although the tone of Member of Server is very disgusted with the card charging, Winter does not feel that there is anything wrong.

Because it is not only Monta, other republics are the same road cards everywhere. Vitta people even joked that the brilliant army headquarters was built with tolls.

"Who cultivated the road, who collects money." Winter said: "Reasonableness."

"That's right, reasonable love." Servite looked at the mountains, and said with some missed manners: "But the Smart Survey of the Steel Castle Blorers is that they have repaired the road and decided not to collect any tolls."

"Decent business."

"It is indeed a loss -making business, but after using the money of everyone's money, the rest of the business is profitable. In this way, even if it goes to the distance, the saved road fee is enough to cover the steel castle and iron.

The cost gap between the iron and the iron town of Hongshi Town.

Although road construction is a loss of money, the steel castle is squeezed by the loss of money and annexed the iron smelting industry in Hongshi Town. As a result, the steel castle continues to build, buying the road, and to this day

There is no need to pay the toll. "
