Xumi: I and the treasure-stealing weasel killed our way through the Church of the Lord

There was a rapid knock on the door, and before he could say anything, the main door of the office was opened.

Recently, due to the perfect completion of the Casazale Palace, he was successfully promoted to the Grand Master of the Miaolun School. Kavi, who was somewhat smug, pushed the door and walked in.

Looking at the blond figure in front of him, who was as arrogant as a beast of burden in heat, Elhaisen couldn't help but sigh, and even felt a dull pain in his temples on both sides.

"After knocking on the door, you need the other party's consent to enter. Don't tell me that you have forgotten even the most basic courtesy after your promotion. - Our Grand Tutor Mr. Kavi."

El Haisen looked up and spoke in his usual cold tone.

"Hey! You're still talking about me?!"

"Don't you think about who rejected my visit appointment three times in a row with the excuse of 'busy work'? Obviously, there are not many people coming to your Zhilun School Sage Office on weekdays, right?"

"If I didn't need to submit the road planning diagrams for Bayda Port and Omos Port, I wouldn't have come here, okay?!"

Kavi was also very angry when he heard this. It was obvious that other people had never heard of the requirement to make an appointment to come here, but he had to submit a visiting application to this guy Elhaisen if he wanted to come. When he thought of this, he felt that the guy in front of him who was slacking off every day was targeting him.

"——You should be thankful that you have that report in your hand. This is also the reason why you can meet me this time."

"I don't want to talk about how outrageous the 'Relics Colossus Children's Theme Park Construction Plan' you drafted earlier was. Let's get down to business."

Elhaisen shook his head and didn't intend to continue arguing with Kavi, who had a strange idea.

"Isn't my plan perfect?! When you rejected it, you should tell me why!"

"There's such a huge ruins statue on the edge of the city, and there are obviously many people visiting every day. I thought about expanding it and directly building a ruins theme park. Isn't it very reasonable? You just rejected me directly?"

Kavi was very dissatisfied when he thought about his brilliant proposal that was rejected.

Obviously, thanks to the large amount of materials provided by the First Sage recently, the Miao Lun School's research on the relic mechanisms has made great progress. If they can really find some Kanreya mechanisms in the same series as the Ruins Colossus to build a theme park, then the Miao Lun School will probably never have to worry about enrollment again.

——Maybe I can help Senior Falusan recruit some as well.

"Gears of War Children's Theme Park. Only you, the Myo-ron School, could come up with something like this."

"——Let's stop talking nonsense and hand over the report in your hand. Both gods attach great importance to the development of the port, and I don't want to continue this meaningless quarrel with you."

Elhaisen looked at the green God's Eye on Kavi's waist in front of him, sighed, and decided to get straight to the point.

Ever since Kavi completed the Casazale Palace to a level that exceeded expectations, he obtained the Grass Elemental God's Eye and had his rank promoted, and he has become much more confident than before.

It was for this reason that, believing that his ideas had been recognized by the gods, Kavi became more enthusiastic about debating with Elhaisen.

Although he had no intention of joining the idiot in an argument, as long as this guy was around him, even Elhaisen's well-honed emotional management skills were sometimes unable to calm him down.

But this time, there is no other suitable candidate for the road planning of the two major ports, and it must be completed by Kavi.

As the most outstanding genius of the Miaolun School in contemporary times, although Kavi has some unique insights on the social level, his planning of buildings and roads is indeed quite outstanding.

After personally overseeing the construction of the Casazale Palace, the material transportation process involved also gave him a full understanding of the transportation problems of the ports of Baida and Ormos.

In the current situation, even Elhaisen himself recognizes his necessity in this regard.

“Clatter, clatter”

Elhaisen flipped through the relevant reports in his hands, analyzing one by one the pain points and difficulties raised by Kavi regarding road construction.

half an hour.

He put down the report in his hand, recalled the contents, and said in summary:

".So, you think the reason why the road construction was frequently blocked before was mainly due to the influence of the wild monster camps and the displacement of the earth veins?"

"."

Kavi paused for a moment, and finally said with some hesitation:

"If you exclude the problems of material transportation, construction personnel, obstacle removal, and maintenance, your summary is basically correct."

Although I felt that my answer was very magical, it was like saying something outrageous when judging a case and ignoring the facts.

But after witnessing the reconstruction of Xumi City with his own eyes last time, Kavi had to admit that the difficulties faced by ordinary people were indeed nothing to the gods.

"——After all the issues regarding cost and manpower have been ignored, the monsters' instinctive desire to destroy human creations and the road deviation caused by the shift of the earth veins are the issues I intend to submit to the First Sage."

Worried that Elhaisen underestimated these two issues, he went on to explain:

"Don't disbelieve me. These two problems are not just ours. Liyue and Fontaine are actually the same. Apart from cities, any road built on the ground, no matter how strong the material, will become difficult to repair under the constant destruction of monsters. This is one of the main reasons why even some important trade routes use dirt roads."

"——The problem caused by the displacement of the earth veins is even greater. No matter how suitable the construction location you initially choose is, these valuable sections of road will often shift to some inaccessible places due to the changes in terrain caused by the movement of the earth veins. I heard that in order to maintain their high-altitude tracks, Fontaine allocates a huge amount of money every year for road adjustments. Even so, it is said that you can often find some damaged tracks in the wild because no one maintains them."

"So you see, the more expensive the materials, the higher the maintenance cost after being damaged by monsters. Moreover, once the terrain shifts, the precise road structure will be more likely to become fragmented. After all, isn't it true that dirt and gravel roads have the best cost-effectiveness? This is a truth recognized by all seven countries!"

"."

Elhaisen thought about it seriously for a moment, and finally acknowledged Kawi's expertise in this area. Although he didn't hold out much hope, he still planned to ask if the other party had any feasible solutions:

"If what you said is true, without requiring too much financial allocation, what characteristics do you think these roads should have to be most suitable?"

Hearing this, Kavi was somewhat helpless and said without hope:

"——If you ask me, if you really want to build such roads at a low cost, it would be best if these 'roads' can jump up and defeat the monsters around them, and after the deflection, they can grow legs and run back by themselves."

"——But how can such a thing exist? Even if it does exist, can it still be called a road?"

"——Repairing roads throughout Xumi is such a huge undertaking. If it can be accomplished successfully, then even among the seven nations, I'm afraid our construction level will still be far ahead."

He sighed deeply. Although a great opportunity for Xumi to become famous among the seven countries was right in front of him, when he thought of the various difficulties involved, even the optimistic Kavi could not figure out for a moment how his own god would deal with such a problem.

Liyue, between the clouds.

Since the last strange incident, there was a bit more fairy-like atmosphere among the clouds and mist, and two birds, one black and one white, were flying through them.

Although from the outside, apart from being slightly larger in size, it is not very different from ordinary birds and beasts.

However, the powerful aura emanating from their bodies invisibly reveals their status as immortals.

But unlike the immortals that people imagine as being high up and taciturn,

If you get a little closer to them, you can hear their very homely conversation:

"Liuyun, the Emperor sent me to Xumi this time because the 'God of Authority' took a fancy to my reputation as 'Managing Water and Building Mountains', and I am going to help him study the method of mountain migration."

"——But you are from a research institute, why do you insist on going with me? I've never seen you like to go somewhere else so much before?"

The True Lord Lishui Dieshan, dressed in black and brown and flying in the front, looked at the blue and white fairy bird beside him with some confusion.

"Hmph, you're from a research institute? Wandering around?"

"——Heh, the contract between you and me never stipulated that we cannot travel to other countries. If I just suddenly feel like it, so what?"

Hearing his colleague's very low EQ question, Master Liuyun Jiefeng did not show any courtesy and directly responded.

"Ahem, Liuyun, you know that Xueyue and I haven't had any contact with mortals for a long time, so there are bound to be some omissions in our words, so don't hold on to it."

"Since you've come along, you must have your own reasons. Don't keep me in suspense. I really can't guess."

Although it is still in the form of a fairy bird, one can see a somewhat "awkward" expression on the bird's face of Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun, which shows that he is indeed aware of his poor speaking skills that always bring bad luck to others.

"That's pretty good. I don't think you and idiots like Xue Yue can guess my intentions."

Even while flying, Master Liuyun Jiefeng still raised his head slightly, obviously having no illusions about his two colleagues who were ignorant of the ways of the world.

"It's been a long time since the two countries of Yancao have interacted with each other. Do you know why the Emperor took the initiative to send you to Xumi to help this time?"

Master Liuyun Jiefeng looked at his old friend beside him and asked a question after careful consideration.

"Isn't it just because I can help with the road repair? It's no different from the previous missions of subduing demons, right?"

While flying, Master Lishui Dieshan thought for a while and didn't think of any other purpose for going out to help build the road.

"Haha, I knew you two guys are unreliable!"

"Even the most common courtesy and reciprocity in this world, you can't understand it?"

Liu Yun shook his head as expected, and then continued to explain:

"This god of Xumi had previously helped the Great Sage to escape from the troubles of karma, and recently helped to deal with a lot of demon residue. Even the caves of you and me have benefited from his kindness and have gained a bit of immortal charm."

"The Emperor has ruled Liyue for thousands of years. Recently, we met the 'God of Authority' of Xumi and got along very well. Since he came as a guest to help Liyue, we, as the host, should not lose our manners."

"——Now that the Emperor has lent you the Heart of God, he must be sending you here as a reward for your previous kindness."

Looking at the dazed look on Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun's face after hearing these words, Liuyun raised his head high, feeling very proud of his ability to understand the "ways of the world".

".Hiss, this is really my negligence. If you hadn't reminded me this time, it would have been bad if I had been impolite."

After hearing these words, Master Lishuidieshan lowered his head and thought about it, and found that it was indeed true. Suddenly, he felt that Master Liuyunjiefeng's previous boasting of being "good at chatting" did not seem to be completely unreasonable.

——At least among the three of them, Master Liuyun Jiefeng, who has many disciples and followers, can indeed be regarded as the best at interpersonal communication.

Even though not everyone can arrive as quickly as the Great Sage who conquers demons, the immortals' speed is still extremely fast.

It didn't take long for the two immortals to cross several high mountains at the edge of Jueyunjian and arrive at the border of Xumi.

Although for ordinary people, it is not very convenient to travel from Liyue to Xumi, when the Layered Abyss is blocked, taking the sea route requires a long detour, which is full of inconveniences.

But in fact, in the eyes of immortals, the borders of the two countries are connected everywhere. Whether you go through Chenyu Valley or Hulao Mountain, you only need to fly a short distance to cross the border and enter another country.

Therefore, when they saw the lush mountains ahead that were very different from the main area of ​​Liyue, they knew that their destination was approaching.

Only after actually seeing this rainforest area which was not much smaller than Liyue did they have a clear understanding of the scale of the landform transformation that this "authoritarian god" intended to achieve.

"For such a large area, even if it is just to pave the road with the most common rocks, it would probably take decades of hard work for mortals, not to mention combing the veins of the earth and moving the mountains."

"You must know that this road is not simply paved and completed. According to the Emperor, the goal this time is to build a flat road that does not require maintenance and is easy to adjust in one go. Can this really be completed in a short period of time?"

Looking at such a large piece of land, Master Lishuidieshan became somewhat curious about the methods used by this foreign god.

He was also aware of the difficulties in road construction that everyone knew.

You must know that even in Liyue, where the God of Rock reigns, most of the roads are made of mud.

The biggest problem lies in the trouble of subsequent maintenance. With the ability of the Emperor, if he just wants to cover the road surface with rocks, it would be very simple.

But the nature of the rock itself is such. As for the subsequent damage to the road caused by monsters causing trouble and the shifting of earth veins, it is impossible for the Emperor to repair it himself every year, right?

It is also for this reason that the emperor, who gradually delegated power, did not personally intervene in the development of roads within Liyue.

"I don't know either. If it's just a short distance, it's fine. With careful research, you can always find materials that are tough and easy to adjust."

"But there really is no good way to cover the entire country within a few days."

This time, Master Liuyun Jiefeng did not try to be stubborn. She was indeed not very good at such a large-scale construction that would affect the entire country.

"Forget it. Let the two gods of this country come up with the specific plan. Just don't be impolite."

"This meeting point has already appeared in my mind. I think the gods of our country have already discovered us. We can go and see them as soon as possible."

Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan felt the elemental guide made up of yellow and green colors in front of him, shook his head, put aside all the messy thoughts for the time being, and led Liuyun behind him to the residence of the gods of his country.

Xumi City, Jingshan Palace.

In accordance with Liyue customs, Lin Feng and Nashida placed a table here, on which were placed many special dishes of Xumi to welcome the two immortals who came here specially to help.

Although he was a little confused as to why there was suddenly another Zhenjun Liuyunjiefeng in addition to the originally agreed Zhenjun Lishuidieshan, he still prepared some lighter food according to the taste of the woman in the plot.

In the matter of road construction, he specially borrowed the True Lord Li Shui Die Shan from the Emperor. His purpose was to study how to remove some mountains that blocked the road without seriously affecting the earth veins.

After all, if you just update the original dirt road without optimizing the path in between, the effect of the entire project cannot be said to be zero, but it can only be said to be minimal.

Lin Feng's main purpose of this road construction is to open up the trade route between Bayda Port, Omos Port and the desert area.

Influenced by the previous stupid policy of the Decrees, the port of Baida, which is not far from Fontaine, is not allowed to trade, and all goods must be transshipped through the port of Ormos.

Although trade has gradually been restored, the water transportation capacity relying on only one river is still very limited.

As for the waterway

——The land transportation capacity of the Port of Ormos and the Port of Baida cannot be said to be poor, it can only be said to be non-existent!

Previously, the goods of the entire Xumi could only be transported by water through the large river "Atarovar" that runs through Xumi. However, most of the river channels are very narrow and rugged, allowing only some small boats to pass through.

After a while, it was discovered that the most common merchants in the Xumi region were individual traders driving camels or pulling small carts. Outside of the port of Omos, there was no trace of any chamber of commerce at all.

It is impossible for the economy to develop when transportation of goods depends entirely on manpower.

As for the desert areas, they are even more serious.

The most intuitive description of the road conditions over there is that there are no road conditions at all, because there is no stable road to walk on at all. The most common situation is to trek through the sand under the scouring of yellow sand.

This time, with the luxurious configuration of two great powers and two God's Hearts, Lin Feng plans to directly follow Wendy's example and completely move some mountains within the territory.

Then, we will straighten and expand all the winding and narrow roads in the country that can only accommodate one person, completely open up the trade routes in the country, and strive to become the country with the best road conditions among the seven countries.

Such a big change is bound to affect the operation of the earth veins. In order to prevent some strange earth vein projections from appearing frequently in the country, Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun was specially called in to help sort out the earth veins and quell the subsequent impacts.

As for Master Liuyunjiefeng, Lin Feng was not sure what that woman was thinking.
