2. How many steps will it take to rebuild the castle?
AD The Grand Duke once said that if you get motion sick, just vomit and you will feel better.
roar!
Fierce flames spurted out from Li Jiasu's nose, mouth, and ears. He half-upturned and spit into the sky for several seconds.
Then he bent down and took a deep breath.
Traveling through the crystal wall system for the first time really made my stomach feel uncomfortable.
"My lord, please calm down, my lord, please calm down!"
???
Li Jiasu took a closer look and said, "What a scary guy."
In front of him, a young man about 1.4 meters tall, wearing purple velvet silk clothes, was kneeling on the dirt floor, his legs were trembling, his head was lowered and he did not dare to raise his head.
Next to the young man, who was probably a guard? Another middle-aged man, 1.7 meters tall and wearing chainmail, sat slumped on the dirt. The spear he was holding fell to the side. He was dumbfounded and looked at Li in horror.
Jia Shu.
...
As the last member of the Frederic family, Chu Yang wanted to maintain his dignity as a lord and his aristocratic upbringing as much as possible in the face of the mysterious devil.
But after seeing with his own eyes the 2-meter-tall terrifying devil summoned from the black magic circle, roaring with a roar that frightened the souls of mortals, and spitting out crimson flames, Chu Yang became afraid.
He lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head. He squeezed out a trace of courage and prayed: "Sir, please stop your anger. Please stop your anger!".
Why did he obsessively use the blasphemous secret scroll left by his ancestors? The key is that he really summoned the devil?
Can He help me? Will He eat me?
Chuyang Frederesh, he was kneeling on the dirt ground, not daring to raise his head.
Just like the serfs on the territory, when they meet him.
Just like when he went with his father to the capital of the Kingdom of Spain to meet the king.
"Ahem, mortal, stand up first." Li Jiasu cleared his throat.
Chuyang: "Ah?"
"Stand up, unless you want to be my dessert!" Li Jiasu made a terrifying voice, "In hell, all creatures that kneel down are food whose necks have been washed clean!"
"And you, bold mortal, since you have the honor to summon me, then I will allow you and your attendants to live a little longer - unless you make me feel bored."
"So, now, stand up for me!"
"No kneeling!"
Li Jiasu roared in a devil's unique voice.
The young man in purple velvet silk clothes gritted his teeth, stood up with his hands on the ground, and then quickly helped the middle-aged guard beside him.
The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, staring in front of the devil's eyes, waiting for him to speak.
By the way, AD Grand Duke has given Li Jia Shu a constant 'language proficiency' buff. Unless he encounters some extremely rare languages or secret words with extraordinary power, Li Jia Shu does not have to worry about language communication.
.
"So, what's your name, the contractor who summoned me?" Li Jiasu pointed at Chu Yang.
The young man in purple velvet silk clothes replied in a trembling voice: "Chuyang Frederesh, sir, I am the new lord of this island. The ancestor of my family was once a disciple of your Lord Asmodeus."
Li Jia Shu touched his chin and said: "You made a mistake, Chu Yang. The great devil true god, Grand Duke Asmodeus, is a busy man and has no time to respond to a little person like you.
."
"I am a contract messenger under the command of Grand Duke Asmodeus, and my devil name is..."
"Axelarat Lee!"
Chu Yang quickly flattered, "I understand, respected Ambassador Axelarat, I..."
Li Jiasu interrupted rudely: "You mortals pronounce my name too slowly. Save time. From now on, you can call me..."
"Ac Li, that's it. Do you understand? Save time."
Chu Yang was a little confused. After all, the pronunciation of the name given by Lord Devil was really difficult to pronounce. He hoped that he would not bite his tongue in the future.
Chu Yang: "I understand, I understand. Dear Mr. Ai, er, AC Li, I follow the black magic ritual left by my ancestors, sign my name on the blasphemous secret scroll, and summon you to the present world. I am willing to pay
Sacrifice, compensation, and even soul, I pray you can..."
"Help our Frederic family..."
Li Jiasu: "Huh?"
"...Rebuild the lord's castle." Chu Yang shrank his head. The trick he had originally hidden in his heart was thrown away under the pressure of the devil.
I have also heard the story of the bard. Poets say that anyone who tries to talk to the devil will be played by the devil to death. It is better to truthfully explain the demands he wrote in the contract last night.
Li Jia Shu nodded and thought to himself: "Fortunately, with the Nine Prisons Contract Document, the content of the project is fixed, effectively preventing Party A from changing the project requirements."
Then, Li Jia Shu waved his hands and said: "Rebuilding the castle is not a difficult task for me."
He turned around and saw Chuyang's castle.
A typical ancient Western European castle is located on a gentle concave surface halfway up a mountain about 200 meters high.
However, about half of it, about 60% of the buildings, have either collapsed or are dilapidated and dilapidated buildings.
The remaining 40% of the building is still intact. From a distance, several windows can be seen with the light of candles, and it is obvious that someone lives in the corresponding room.
It is midnight now, the moonlight and starlight are shining down, and the castle of the Frederic family is lingering in a dilapidated manner.
Houses are consumables. Even for feudal noble lords in Western Europe, their houses will eventually collapse completely.
Li Jiasu does not consider himself a paper framer.
I came here to build a house.
Of course, the situation at hand is indeed quite difficult.
We have to blast out the collapsed parts and the dilapidated buildings and buildings first...
No, it can't even be blasted, as the risk would be too high to compromise the other half of the intact structure that doesn't need to be demolished.
It can only be dismantled manually and in stages.
Then transport recyclable materials and non-recyclable construction waste to nearby open spaces.
At this point, reconstruction has not started at all, not even the preparations have begun.
Demolishing parts of collapsed and dangerous buildings (and hauling away recyclable materials and construction waste) can only be regarded as...
‘Preliminary work’ of preparation.
Li Jia Shu sighed inwardly, but kept his tone inscrutable, and said to Chu Yang: "Well, it's not difficult. No devil knows how to build a house better than me."
"But having said that, when you made a wish in the contract, why didn't you just pray and let the Devil Archduke Asmodeus use magic to 'conjure' a new castle for you? Instead, pray and let us devils
, help you rebuild a castle?"
Without looking back, Li Jiasu asked Chu Yang.
There is no doubt that if Grand Duke AD wants to, he can really use magic to conjure a castle out of thin air. Of course, it is unknown how many years the magic can last.
Chu Yang lowered his head and replied: "Master Li, there is no free bread in the world. I understand this truth."
"I'm worried that I won't be able to pay the price of magic and miracles. So, the next best thing is to pray for the blasphemous contract left by my ancestors, that the Lord Devil can 'help' me and rebuild the castle."
"As the current lord of this island, I will pay some of my own, and Mr. Li, you will use your devil's power to help me. I believe that in this way, I can afford to pay the price of praying to the devil."
Li Jiasu turned around and looked down at Chuyang. (If you look at 2.1 meters and 1.4 meters, you need to lower your head)
"You are quite sensible and not too greedy."
"Chuyang Frederesh, raise your head." Li Jiasu said, "Let me see the face of the contractor this time."
Previously, although Chu Yang and his bodyguard stood up, they both kept their heads lowered and did not dare to look directly at the devil.
The young man in purple velvet silk clothes raised his head and stared at the devil.
"Well, it's okay, I look like a human being." Li Jiasu nodded, "Don't worry, no devil knows how to build a house better than me. Follow my guidance, and I will use my wisdom and strength to help you achieve it.
Purpose."
"However, if you have other intentions and dare to play any tricks..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Jiasu used the devil's tail to roll up the spear that the previous guard had dropped on the dirt, and grasped the spearhead with one hand.
Then, the sharp spearhead forged and polished from thick iron was easily pressed by Li Jia, and he shaped it into an iron ball with one hand.
"If you dare to disobey me, these will be the consequences." He threatened in the tone of an evil villain.
Chuyang's heart beat violently. This devil's messenger was so terrifying. He could easily shape it into a ball with one hand using a sharp iron tool, without even piercing the skin of his palm!
After all, the current Li Jiasu is a new-born devil. Although he is a miscellaneous fish in the world of middle and high demons, in a remote world of low demons, [dr5/kindness, 5 points of fire resistance, 30 feet every 12 seconds
Flying speed], I can’t say that I can walk sideways, but at least I am qualified to be the mid-boss.
"Understood, Mr. AC Li, I have absolutely no second thoughts!" Chu Yang quickly expressed his position, fearing that the devil would test the hardness of his head.
Li Jiasu nodded, casually threw the damaged spear to the middle-aged guard who was about to urinate with fear, and ordered: "Find a blacksmith to melt it and make it into farm tools."
Bang! Li Jiasu snapped his fingers, and the other two people trembled.
"Lead the way, Chuyang, back to your castle."
"At midnight, the cold wind is howling. It will be difficult for your small mortal bodies to get sick due to the wind and cold."
"There is still a lot of information that I need to understand one by one. We will discuss it in detail after we return to the castle."
"Rebuilding the castle requires a lot of preparations. You have to give me an explanation before I can formulate a full-cycle plan."
Chuyang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed slightly to Li Jiasu, and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, please come with me."
On the way, in order to relieve the solemn atmosphere, Li Jiasu tried to chat with Chuyang about daily life.
"Chu Yang, how many people are there in the family?"
"My lord, my mother died in childbirth when I was born. My brother answered the call of our King of Spain five years ago and was unfortunately killed in the one-year war between the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of France and Portugal."
"My father passed away due to illness last week. There are only a few distant cousins who are related to me by blood. Oh, their fiefdom is in the mainland of the kingdom, which is quite far away from our island."
"So, I am the only one left in this family."
"...Uh, um, so, Chuyang, it has only been a week since you took over the position of lord?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Well, are you married? Or do you have an engagement? Oh yes, you can have a mistress outside. Do you have one?"
"Sir, our family is actually a poor one. The big nobles in the local area look down upon our 'overseas wasteland', so... even though my father had tried a few years ago when he was still alive, the local nobility
None of the noble lords paid attention to us, so naturally I have no engagement."
"As for the mistress..." At this point, Chu Yang felt a little embarrassed, "ac Mr. Li, I just turned 15 years old."
"Actually, today is my birthday."
"Oh, it's your birthday, happy birthday to you."
"..."
"Wait a minute, 15 years old? You just turned 15?!"
Li Jiasu almost choked, stopped, turned his head and carefully looked at Chuyang Frederesh's face again.
In Chuyang's face, Li Jiasu saw insidiousness, courage, youthfulness, and confusion.
People are different, their times and environments are different, their origins are different, their education is different, and age means nothing.
But age can tell other things.
No one would place their hopes on a dying old man.
Chu Yang and the middle-aged guard also stopped, not daring to take a breath, waiting for the devil's new instructions.
Li Jia Shu stared at Chu Yang's face for a long time.
Finally, he picked up his feet again, turned around, and continued walking towards the castle.
"Hurry up, mortals. It's windy at midnight, so be careful of catching a cold."
