my age of magic

Chapter 1273 77. Angkin Radner

The weather was so hot that it was hard to breathe.

It seems that it has just rained, and some water has remained in the gutter.

After countless tramples, the inside of the ditch became muddy.

The laborers in the ditch have almost all turned into clay figurines. Their clothes are wet and covered with mud, and they will feel very uncomfortable after sticking to their bodies.

On the construction site in the small town of Trume, many laborers only wore a pair of shorts, stood barefoot in the ditch full of stagnant water, and sweated profusely with hoes and picks to dig out the ground mixed with gravel, rock and mud.

They piled dirt and gravel on the side of the ditch, and from time to time, the gravel would slide down into the ditch, causing a burst of complaints and foul language.

Sometimes these laborers even eat lunch in the trench. When they are resting, they find a dry place in the trench, spread a piece of linen on the mud, sit down by the side of the trench, and hold it with one hand. Scones, holding a wooden bowl full of vegetable soup in one hand, will lean against the wall of the ditch and close their eyes to rest for a while after eating the work meal.

The laborers on the ground will use a trailer to place the giant stone troughs side by side on the other side of the ditch. The laborers will drag a rope behind the tripod and use wooden tripods and pulleys to lift the stone troughs weighing hundreds of kilograms into the ditch. middle.

These heavy stone troughs are more than one meter in diameter and are difficult to move once placed in the trench.

Once there are gaps between the two stone troughs, the laborers will yell and use black iron spears as crowbars to connect the two stone troughs tightly.

Katerina pulled me along the main street and walked forward. She saw that the homesteads on both sides of the main street had been coiled by some white plaster, so she couldn't help but took out her plan and pointed at those houses frequently. The homestead told me what kind of house will be built there, and many buildings have been planned. Katerina vividly described to me the buildings on both sides of the main street in the small town of Trume.

Maybe it's because I haven't seen me for a long time, Luka followed me every step of the way, only knowing to smile silly at me.

I asked him if he was not used to helping me manage the granary in the Trume camp, and Luka told me naively that everything in the Black Forest was fine except for the fierce mosquitoes.

Walking on the streets of the Trum Camp, the stone road on the main street of the town has not yet been fully paved, and there are piles of flowery white granite stones piled up everywhere.

A three-meter-high stone foundation has been built on the city walls around the Trum camp, and stone materials will continue to be built up to a height of about ten meters, but this part is still piled up on the underground square of Xinliu Valley for the time being. Wait for the barbarian slaves to carry these stones out.

Judging from the statistics on the labor roster that Luka handed me, nearly [-] laborers have been accepted in the Trum camp.

Now they are scattered in every corner of the Trum camp. Some of them specialize in building the stone foundation of the city wall, digging sewer trenches, and laying the main stone road in the town. Almost every labor team is managed in an orderly manner.

At first I thought it was Bernd the dwarf's management model that had been adopted and sublimated, but then I learned from Luka the tauren that the three thousand laborers were divided into twelve groups to perform their duties, not Bernd's management The model has been effectively followed, but the architect known as Angkin Lardner and his assistants are dispatching these laborers every day.

In addition, on the construction site of Trume Camp, many civil engineering equipment were produced by Angkin. It is said that the pulley block was brought by Angkin from Tanton City.

This thing played a big role in the Trum camp, because each of the stone troughs for laying the sewers weighs several hundred kilograms. When these stone troughs were dug, they were completely considered in accordance with the physical fitness of the barbarian slaves. A barbarian slave can lift a stone trough with ease.

But now these barbarian slaves have been taken by me to the green valley forest to deal with the Nebulu spider warriors.

Without the barbarian slaves to carry the stones, these stone troughs can only be carried by the laborers in Tanton City.

For these imperial settlers in Tanton City, this kind of stone trough is too heavy. Everyone also thought of a lot of ways how to lower the stone trough into the trench. Duncheng brought several pulley blocks, and cut wood to make several inverted tripods that can rotate freely in situ.

In this way, it was much easier for the laborers from Tanton to move the granite troughs.

Luka told me that Angkin and his assistants are on the Trume construction site every day, assigning work to these workers, and recently there have been few chaotic scenes of workers swarming and working in the same place.

It's rare to hear Luka praise a person like this, so I really want to meet this Mr. Angkin.

The tauren Luka led us through the messy construction site of the Trum camp, and I found that the scale of the small town of Trum had become so large without knowing it.

The silk reeling workshop keeps producing magicweave spider silk, so I have a very stable source of money to ensure that I can obtain enough resources to build the town of Trume.

Precisely because the Nebulu spiders turned Tanton City into an isolated city, the 30 residents trapped in Tanton City became the basis for the labor force to build the town of Trume. They wanted to buy food from the Trume camp, but The price of food has remained high, and many people are willing to work in the Trume camp, and the food in exchange will be entrusted to Cassandra to bring to relatives in Tanton City.

The construction cost of the town of Trum has also been reduced a lot because of this. After all, it is still very cheap for me to buy food in the imperial capital, so the planning of the town is a little bit higher.

On the drawings, I always feel that many buildings are built a bit too stingy, but actually draw the outlines of these buildings with white plaster lines, and you will find that there are all kinds of buildings lined up from east to west. More than 2000 meters.

It is said to be a small town, but judging from the current construction scale, it is almost as large as a quarter of the inner city of Tanton City.

Trum Camp chose to be built on the top of the fault mountain, with three sides adjacent to the Black Forest and one side facing the cliff of the fault mountain.

In other places, if you consider building a small town on a cliff, you must consider the source of drinking water, because there is no way to dig a well above the cliff.

But this is the plane of Yero, where the four seasons are like spring, and the amount of rain is abundant. Even if the town is built on the top of the cliff, the vegetation in the town will not lack of rainwater irrigation.

Moreover, I am also planning to build a large water tower at the highest point of the town that can provide drinking water for the entire town residents. In fact, it is somewhat inaccurate to say that it is a water tower. It should be said that it is a group of water towers. The panels are embedded in several large water towers, and the rich water elements in the air gather the city's clean water sources.

No matter where you go, someone will greet the tauren Luka graciously. As the manager of the food warehouse in the Trume camp, during the time Bernd and Justus left the Trume camp, Luka was Trume. The sole manager of the camp.

However, Luka has a kind and honest temperament, and he probably helped the people in the Trum camp a lot in private, which is why he has been loved and respected by so many people in such a short period of time.

Luka was wearing a full-cover fine gold magic pattern armor. Because of the hot weather, he didn't wear armor on his upper body, but only a hard leather vest. His lower body was wrapped in heavy metal armor. There are two black moonblade axes hanging on his waist. When he walks, his butt twists and turns, and the two huge moonblade axes swing back and forth accordingly.

He took me to the edge of a city wall with a large drop. At least seven or eight hundred laborers gathered on the wall to carry stone materials, and some masons were laying some stone materials on the city wall.

The laborers are building stone foundations under the city wall. There is a section of the city wall that has just been repaired here, and there is a very wide view there. meter drop.

Moreover, one side of the cliff is just facing south, and from here you can see the almost continuous forest sea.

Looking north, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Trume camp.

Luka took Katerina and I to climb this part of the city wall. Before we got to the top of the city, we heard the discussion of several people from the top of the city.

My five senses are much sharper than ordinary people, and I can vaguely hear the conversation above.

"Look at those sewers in the city, my boy, they are actually hewn out of a whole block of granite. The Marquess of Armand was never so luxurious when he built the Lord's Mansion in Tanton City!" One of them said, he has very With a strong Tanton City accent, the tone of speech is very similar to Mr. Billy, the innkeeper.

Another very young voice said: "If you say that the ten-meter-high city wall is very common, the base of the city wall made of three-meter-high granite stones is not too much..."

His voice paused for a while before he continued: "But the main part of the city wall above is also planned to be built with granite, which is a bit too much. It seems that the owner here wants to keep out of the city together with the spider warlord." ah!"

The voice sighed a little, and then said: "The channel for the water supply network is still being dug in the city. It is said that a water tower will be built on the mound over there, and dozens of pipelines will extend from the water tower. Come out, these water supply pipelines will spread all over the city, what kind of town will this be?"

The previous person with a strong Tanton accent said: "In my opinion, the new lord of Trum must have witnessed the destruction of the stronghold of Trum with his own eyes, so he built such a luxurious town, but in Building towns at this time is a bit out of date!"

At this time, a steady voice said: "Have you ever thought about how many people in Tanton would be starving if the lord hadn't built the town of Trume?"

Two other young voices echoed: "That's right, it's really lucky to have this batch of emergency food!"

The steady voice said again: "Stop talking about that, Knight Disraeli should have received the message from us. Why haven't we received a reply for so long?"

"Could it be that the message was intercepted on the way?" The young voice guessed.

After a little silence, he said in a steady voice, "It's not a secret. Now half of the people in Tanton City know about Camp Trum. I guess they never thought of covering it up."

"...Maybe Knight Disraeli didn't send us here to collect information at all!" He said in a steady voice with some hesitation.

The young voice was full of doubts: "What is the Disraeli Knight for?"

The calm voice guessed: "Is it possible that Knight Disraeli actually wanted us to stay here? In fact, Disraeli actually wanted me to help the owner of the town build this town..."

Hearing this, I found that if I took the tauren Luka up at this time, it would inevitably be very embarrassing.

So I stopped on the stone steps of the city wall, then turned and walked down the city wall.

The tauren looked at me suspiciously, and just wanted to ask me: 'Why don't you go up? ’ I interrupted with a finger up against my mouth.

I first signaled Luka to silence, and then took Luka and Katerina away from the southern city wall. It seems that Knight Disraeli already knew that I built the town here, and he probably recognized the tauren Luka. , and this architect named Angin was found by Knight Disraeli for me in Tanton City.

At this time, I suddenly felt that I was not fighting alone in the plane of Yero, there were Disraeli Knights, the ancient war trees in Dustwallow Marsh and Green Valley Forest, the tribe where Elder Singer belonged, etc., and I It seems that they have also figured out a way to deal with the Nebulu spider.

So I began to realize that I should contact the Disraeli Knight in Tanton City, and the Disraeli Knight and I should also join hands to resist these Nebru spiders.

Luka and I returned to the granary near the Trume camp. The granary in the Trume camp was surrounded by a linen curtain, probably because Luka didn’t want the workers outside to see that the granary was about to bottom out. These laborers, Luka will do this.

In fact, it is a good thing for me to have these linen curtains in the granary of the camp, which means that the grain and stones in the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley can be transported directly from the portal to the camp, without having to Move it once.

This time, the old orc Zewang transferred nearly 200 female half-orcs from the orc village, and more than 200 barbarian slaves from the quarry.

The female half-orc was responsible for transporting bags of wheat flour from the underground warehouse in Xinliu Valley, while the more than 200 barbarian slaves were transporting the mountains of stones and some steel pipes piled up on the underground square to the Trum camp.

In fact, it didn’t take long to move, and the time hourglass was completely empty, which meant that I had to return to the Royal Academy of Magic in the imperial capital immediately to take magic classes, and those materials that hadn’t been moved had to be carried again at night.

When I returned to the imperial capital this time, Katerina did not go back to the imperial capital with me. She chose to stay in the Trum camp. She was going to meet Mr. Angkin, at least to tell him about the idea of ​​building a small town.
