Chapter 283 Because I am not a stone house! (2 in 1)
Wow!
"Narant is too ignorant to advance or retreat!"
"This lives up to what Andrew just said!"
In an instant, all the nobles in the restaurant had different expressions.
The older nobles looked at Andrew with some sympathy.
Originally, his son might have been the hope for the future of the Berwick family, but Nalant unexpectedly fell out of control at this time.
The young heirs laughed secretly one by one. Now Nalant had no chance to turn around.
Only the Earl, Miss Stella and a few nobles did not laugh at Nalant, but their expressions were somewhat solemn.
They felt that Narant should not be so unwise, but the facts were right in front of them.
Only Boris looked at Nalant with some surprise.
Among everyone, he is probably the only one who knows the current Narant best. In his eyes, he is absolutely resourceful. Therefore, he feels that Narant must have a purpose in saying this.
"Little Narant, don't talk nonsense!" Andrew's expression changed slightly when he saw everyone's reaction, and he gave a rare stern reprimand to Narant.
"Father, I am really not talking nonsense. I asked the craftsmen to design this small building like this!" Nalant was still confident, "Furthermore, father, Lord Earl and all the guests, you know that my seven manors have been built since the beginning.
How long does it take in total from construction to completion?”
Nalant ignored his cheap father's anxious expression and continued to laugh and talk while the nobles watched.
Naturally, no one answered the questions raised by Narant.
Nalant didn't care, he smiled and held out two fingers and said: "In less than two months, it took less than two months from the start of construction to the completion of my seven manors!
"
Wow!
Narant's words were truly shocking.
It usually takes two months to build the shell of a small stone house, but it took Nalant two months to build seven.
Unless he uses seven times as many craftsmen and coolies as others.
But the next moment, Narant continued: "And during these two months, I used no more than a hundred manpower, including craftsmen and coolies, to build seven manors."
"How is this possible? Even if you cut corners, it can't be built so quickly. No matter how small the stones are, they still need to be repaired!" At this time, some nobles finally couldn't listen anymore.
"Lord Earl, let's evacuate this small building quickly! This small building is too dangerous. Sir Nalant seems to be talking nonsense, and he himself said that he was sincere! It was built in two months
There are seven such small manor buildings, and this small building may collapse at any time!"
Nalant didn't have time to answer the nobleman's question, but several young people became increasingly uneasy.
If this small building really collapses, the earl and a few powerful nobles may be able to survive with their super strength, but young people like them will definitely turn into meat cakes if they are crushed by the house.
"Narant, do you know that this stone house will become very dangerous if you do this?"
Naturally, the Earl would not think that Nalant had suddenly gone crazy, so he did not listen to the young man's words, but asked Nalant expressionlessly.
"My lord, I don't know!" Nalant shook his head.
However, seeing Bernard's brows furrowing slightly, Nalant knew that he could no longer play. If he continued to play, he would really be playing with fire and burning himself.
So he changed the topic and said: "However, Lord Earl, I can guarantee the absolute safety of my small building, because my small building is not a stone house!"
"It's not a stone house? What does this mean?"
Everyone was stunned, unable to understand Nalantye's words at all.
"My Lord Earl, and all guests, you don't have to worry, because the small building in my manor is not made of heavy stones! That's why you see that the walls of this small building are so thin."
"But I, Narant, can guarantee the strength of the small building with my own reputation! This is a restaurant for nobles. I, Narant, am also a noble. How could I not know that the lives of nobles are extremely precious?
!" Nalant explained in one breath.
"Narant, you said your small building is not made of stone, then what is it made of?"
Some guests who were leaning against the wall were already looking hard at the wall, but unfortunately because it was covered with lime powder, they couldn't see anything.
In everyone's perception, there are only two types of materials for building houses, wooden houses and stone houses. Although Nalant's small building is painted with lime, it cannot be made of wood!
"Well, since everyone has asked, I won't hide it! In fact, this small building is made of clay!"
"..."
There was silence for a moment, and everyone thought that Narant had gone crazy.
This is what Narant wants.
"Big rocks, get some bricks over here!"
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Big Stone came to Nalant with a few bricks.
Narant picked up a brick and showed it to everyone, "Everyone, this is the brick used to build the small building, and it is made of soil!"
With that said, Nalant waved his hand to the big stone again, asking him to deliver the extra bricks to the hands of the nobles.
When Big Rock began to distribute the bricks, Nalant handed his brick into Bernard's hand.
"Your Majesty, this is a new specialty of our Storm Territory. It is a material that can replace stone in building houses. Using it will not only save costs, but also greatly shorten the construction time!"
After hearing this, Bernard thoughtfully took the brick from Nalant's hand, and then put it in his hand to examine it.
"It is indeed relatively hard, but Nalant, are you sure this material is reliable?"
Bernard shook it and squeezed it again, and found that the hardness of the brick was indeed good.
But compared with rocks, there are still some gaps.
Not only Bernard felt this way, but the nobles below also felt the same way.
And Narant has long known that seeing is believing, so that everyone can understand the solidity of the brick hut!
So, Nalant immediately said to everyone: "Your Excellency, Earl, and all guests, since I have informed you of the existence of this brick today, let me show you the true appearance of the house built with it!
"
With that said, Nalant invited Bernard and a group of nobles to walk out of the restaurant.
At this moment, Nalant was also slightly nervous, because whether his third shock could be completed or not, the answer would soon be revealed.
Naturally, everyone wanted to see what the house made of bricks that Nalant said looked like, so they followed him one after another.
After walking out of the small building and passing through the front gate, Nalant led everyone towards the back of the manor from the side.
At this moment, there were several dense trees with their roots cut off in front of them. All the nobles were confused when they saw this scene.
Nalant took a deep breath and waved directly to Mario who was standing not far away.
Upon seeing this, Mario immediately turned around and shouted to the two nearby groups of barbarians: "Pull!"
"drink!"
Following Mario's command, the barbarians on both sides instantly pulled the hemp ropes in their hands.
As they exerted their strength, several big trees in front of Nalant and the others were pulled to the side.
Boom! Boom!
With several muffled sounds, the big tree with dense branches finally fell down, and the scene behind it fell into the eyes of all the nobles!
"Oh my god, what did I see?"
"How come there is such a house?"
At this moment, the empty shell of a mostly completed brick building appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Without the cover of lime powder, the true face of the wall is immediately exposed to the public.
Until this moment, no one really believed what Narant said about using these bricks to build a house.
And this unprecedented scene had an immediate impact on the cognition of many nobles.
"Ding, the third shock of the side mission has been completed, and the third green elf reward has been distributed!"
While all the nobles were stunned, the voice he had been waiting for finally came from Nalant's mind.
"Haha! It's done!" Nalant cheered in his heart.
He deliberately misunderstood himself among the nobles in the restaurant for so long, and finally his hard work paid off!
However, this third shock has been completed, but what Narant needs to do is not over yet.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he naturally started to sell his bricks, which was also a big fortune.
"Your Excellency, Earl, and all guests, this is the small building that has not yet been completed. After the construction is completed, it will be exactly the same as the restaurant building!" Nalant said directly to the stunned guests, "And everyone
Obviously, I am worried about the quality of this small building, and I am just saying it without any basis, so I will show it to everyone!"
As he spoke, Nalant looked at the young man who stood up and told Bernard to escape.
"Your Excellency, don't know how to address me?"
"Gni Mir, Narant, what do you want?" The young man looked wary.
"It's not that bad, I just want to ask Mr. Gurney for a favor!" Nalant smiled.
"What's the business?" Gurney didn't know what Nalant wanted to do, but he thought that his father was here, and a lot of nobles were also there, so he was not afraid of Nalant.
"It's very simple. I have a hammer here. Can Mr. Gurney demolish that section of brick wall for me within ten minutes?" Nalant pointed to the hammer on the side, and then pointed to a wall in front of him.
Already built brick wall.
This brick wall is not very large, only half a person tall and four meters long.
"Of course, Sir Gurney cannot use fighting spirit during the process of knocking on the wall, otherwise even the stone house will not be able to stop the destruction of the title knight!" Nalant added: "If Sir Gurney can complete this task within ten minutes,
, I am willing to pay twenty gold coins as a reward to Lord Gurney!"
"Wow! Twenty gold coins!" Nalant just finished speaking, and the nobles in the field all expressed surprise.
Twenty gold coins, this is a considerable amount of wealth, even the nobles cannot turn a blind eye.
"Sir Narant, do your words count?" Gurney suddenly became excited.
He's just a strong warrior. Although he can't use fighting spirit, with his extraordinary physique, this shouldn't be difficult.
"Sir Gurney, of course my words are true, as the earl and all the guests can testify!"
"Okay, then I'll help you with this!" After hearing this, Gurney stepped forward and picked up the hammer without any further delay.
"Sir Narante, then I will begin!"
"Okay!" Nalant had already prepared a crystal hourglass.
This hourglass is usually used by nobles to measure short periods of time. Although it cannot be 100% accurate, it is not far off.
And this hourglass happens to cycle every ten minutes.
Boom!
As Narante nodded, Gurney unceremoniously raised his hammer and hit the brick wall.
As a muffled sound came, mud and debris flew from the brick wall.
But Gurney's originally nonchalant expression turned slightly serious.
He didn't pay much attention to the first blow and hit it directly in the middle of the wall, hoping to see if he could directly collapse the wall.
However, the reaction from his hand made him realize that it was wishful thinking to directly smash down the brick wall.
The wall didn't even move when the hammer hit it just now, only the brick where the hammer hit showed some damage.
Gurney no longer looked down upon him, he honestly chose the edge of the brick wall and started smashing it wildly.
Boom, boom, boom!
As Gurney began to swing the stone hammer vigorously, there were even more mud and brick fragments flying in the field.
After all, he has an extraordinary physique, and a single brick cannot withstand Gurney's hammer.
As everyone watched Gurney smash the bricks on the edge, they did not look down upon Nalant's brick wall, but gained a new understanding of Nalant's brick wall.
At this moment, the Earl looked at the brick wall thoughtfully. From the notes that Gurney sharply hammered, he had already seen some clues.
In this way, while Gurney was banging on the wall, everyone was silent and watched Gurney's performance quietly.
Gurney was very motivated at first, but as time went by, his expression gradually became serious. At this moment, he finally knocked down an area of about one square meter of wall, but when he looked at the hourglass on the side
.
I saw that the hourglass at this moment had leaked more than half of the water, but he had only knocked on a quarter of the wall.
Moreover, with the loss of his physical strength, it was no longer possible to knock down the entire section of the wall.
This also means that it is impossible for him to get twenty gold coins.
"Gurney, come back! You can't finish knocking!"
When Gurney's father saw this situation, he knew that it would be embarrassing for him to let his son stay there any longer, so he immediately said hello.
Although Gurney's expression was gloomy when he heard this, he was not mindless. He finally put down the hammer and walked back to the team without saying a word.
"Thank you, Lord Gurney. I would like to ask, guest Huayoume, do you want to give it a try? As long as you don't use grudge energy and knock down the next section of the wall within ten minutes, my reward will still be valid!"
Facing Narant's inquiry, the audience was completely silent.
Obviously, everyone saw that the strength of this brick wall was not as bad as imagined. If they didn't use fighting spirit, they would probably have the same effect as Gurney.
And the reason why Nalant is so sure that no one else can complete it, of course has his own reasons.
In order to ensure the absolute solidity of the wall, the thickness of the green bricks he used to build the small building reached three pieces.
You must know that in previous lives, even if a building was built in a rural area, only two bricks were used. However, the thickness of Nalant's brick has been increased by one, and the strength can be said to be directly doubled.
In addition, don't think that the hardness of a brick is not as good as that of stone.
But once it's built, its solidity and tightness are no less than those of a stone wall.
The only disadvantage of a brick house compared to a stone house is that bricks age faster than stone.
However, bricks are more economical. The cost of building one stone house is enough to build several small brick buildings of the same size.
