Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 191. 189. East Station No. 1

On March 3th, the weather was bright and the ground was getting warmer. Although thick furs were required before the sun was high, they could be worn lighter from noon to afternoon.

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

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

As early as 5 days ago, all post stations received a direct order from the lord, asking all the citizens in the territory to pile up a mound in the center of the camp. They can dig trenches and pick soft stones. In short, they can pile as big as they can.

No citizen knew the reason for this order, but no one dared to question it. It's just that some post stations will implement it meticulously, while others will fool things.

Jim is the son of the steward of East Station No. 1. His father, old Jim, used to be the steward of a knight collar, and was appointed as the butler of the No-Magic Man at East No. 1 Station a month ago.

Old Jim was getting old and all the orders received at the post were carried out by his son Jim. They also didn't understand the meaning of the orders, but little Jim guessed that these mounds were used to build a house for the post.After realizing that it was for the post station, Jim naturally put in a lot of effort in doing things, personally urging the leaders to dig the trench for 5 consecutive days, and piled the excavated soil in the center of the site.

Today is even more different for Jim, because just outside the post station, there is a huge black carriage parked. It is the carriage of the lord Viscount Rand, and he has been in the carriage since Mr. Viscount arrived outside the post station last night.

"Father, why do you think the Viscount just wants us to order some naan and raw meat? You don't need us to cook, and you don't need us to give up the tent?" Jim, who was not working as a supervisor, ran to his father and asked in a low voice.

"What do you know, Mr. Viscount's car is much more comfortable than a tent?" Old Jim looked at his son a little puzzled, and then remembered that his son was just a servant of a certain young baron when he was a child, and he had never seen a luxurious carriage of knights.

"Then why did so many people go to the salt mine a few days ago?" There were a lot of urgent deliveries sent and received by the station in the past few days, one of which required a transport team of no less than 70 pack animals to go to the camp.

"This is the official business of the territory, you can't discuss it! Shut up, your lord can hear it!" 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 possessors in the territory were called to the side of the carriage to be received by Rand.

"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 possessors will help me go hunting over there, and those without demons will go to pick some potato seedlings." The lord pointed casually, and everyone in the station was sent 4 meters away.

Since it was the lord's request, everyone must do it. Old Jim was squatting on the ground to pick tender potato seedlings seriously, but he heard his son whispering.

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

"If you have the strength to speak, pick more leaves. I guess we will go back soon." Old Jim's words are as careless as his actions. After more than ten years of being a steward of the territory, Old Jim knows the lord's selfishness. Minzhi's behavior shows that the Viscount has some kind of magic equipment, and he wants to use it but doesn't want others to see it.

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

"Boom!" Before Old Jim could speak, there was a burst of noise from the direction of the camp, so loud that all the non-monsters and demon-bearers looked over.

"That...that's" Jim saw that the soil and rocks they piled up 500 meters away were being rolled up by a whirlwind, and black soil, yellow fine sand and cyan stones piled up between the "rumbling" When they get together, they are continuously gathered and squeezed in the whirlwind, first forming several columns, then a wall, and even stairs and floors can be seen.

"My god-emperor..." Old Jim's eyes were not as bright as they were when he was young, but he could still feel the power of magic from the blurred shadows. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, But I didn't want more tears to flow out.

. . . . . .

On the edge of the post camp, Rand, Wendy, and Lili were all sitting in the carriage, watching Tania perform a stunt of building a castle for an hour.

When she was in the salt mine camp, Tania spent two days building a fortress comparable to Roth Castle, as well as a salt mining workshop, a coal mining workshop, and repaired some of the dormitories in the coal mine cave.

Of course, Tania did not rely on her own magic power to complete all of them. There is still ample energy in the leylines to cover all of them.

Starting from the 22nd, Rand took Tania on a daily journey of 80 kilometers, hardened the road and built a building for each station.

Compared with the magic goblin, the big goblin is a qualitative leap. If the magic goblin less than 1 meter long builds an earthen wall and it is somewhat similar to "building a wall", then the big goblin building a building is like the laser augmentation of Rand's previous life , foundations, columns, walls, beams, boards, and finally even left a window hole, a four-story (6 meters per floor) main building, a six-story (3 meters per floor) auxiliary building, and a 50-meter watchtower. , a small fortress with a city wall of about 10 meters and 4 turrets is directly "printed".

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

"No, no, I didn't feel it yesterday, why are you so tired today?" Tania, who completed 3 such buildings in 6 days, was exhausted, and complained to Rand once the building was completed. .

"That's because I was able to return to the salt mine yesterday morning and the day before yesterday, but I can't do it today." Lante greeted Tania immediately, 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'm going to rest on the leylines of Yeqi City." Tanya kept expressing her dissatisfaction with the squeezer, but the magic elements around her had already started to spin, a whirlwind that was barely visible The road under the wagon is being hardened.

As early as 3 days ago, Rand designed a standardized post castle based on the salt mine castle. On the one hand, the current citizens can live in it, and on the other hand, these castles can be entrusted to subordinates as baronial territories in the future.

Considering that Tanya will be permanently stationed in Yeqi City in the future, Rand decided to make it in one step, and chose to make the station castle have the scale of a baron's castle, which can be directly entrusted and used in the future.

In fact, according to Tanya's magical power, it is impossible to complete the construction of the two post castles in one day. It was possible to do it in the first two days because after each construction, Rand directly rode Agni and took her back to the salt mine, and replenished them with land veins. Magic, didn't ride in the carriage with Wendy and Lili until the second castle was built yesterday.

"My lord? You've given them land and you're going to build them a castle?" Wendy and Lili were surprised when they heard about Lante's plan for the castle.

"It's not to build a castle for them, but to let them defend my watchtower!" Rand looked at the tower,

"A watchtower equipped with observation runes can observe at least 30 kilometers away, and the two towers can communicate with each other through observation equipment." Lante is constantly improving his idea.

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

"..." Rand glanced at Lili, "I told you to do more math problems. If you look at a distance of 30 kilometers, you can see the ground 30 kilometers away. You have a tower that is 50 meters away. I will return it to you." They have binoculars with runes!"

"It's such a coincidence that I can see the tower 40 kilometers away." Lili pouted, very dissatisfied, "Besides, even if the two sides can see each other, how can they communicate with each other at such a distance?"

"Of course it's the password." Rand said proudly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

. . . . .

After the rand carriage left, the residents of East No. 1 finally knew why the lord had asked them to pile up sand and gravel for 5 days, instead of letting them leave just now.

"My god-emperor, what was that just now?" Jim wriggled his mouth.

"Don't ask what you said you shouldn't ask," said old Jim, staring at the castle for a long time and refusing to leave.

Because there is no order from the lord, neither the demon possessor nor the demon possessor dared to enter the building, so they could only bury the pot and cook in the open space between the two buildings. Two lord orders.

1. All citizens in the station are required to move into the auxiliary building

2. Reward Old Jim, the butler of the No. 1 East Station.
