"What do you mean, let me use the Forbidden Demon Stone to build a colossus?"
Du Lang glanced at his wife and daughter. The middle-aged man frowned and looked hesitant.
"What we mean is that you design a colossus based on Miranda's appearance. The requirements are that the base must be pulled by an ox cart, and the forbidden area must be at least three kilometers."
Lester spoke seriously, making the girl beside him itch with hatred.
"This...if we design the statue according to Miss Miranda's appearance and figure, it's not impossible, but it will take more time."
"As for time, it can be completed within three years."
"Three years...I'm not sure if it's enough time, because it's the first time I've accepted such a difficult job..."
"No, no! Let's forget it!"
Miranda interrupted the conversation, waving her hands wildly as if it was Thursday.
"Don't give me a statue. I, I am not suitable. If you want to erect a statue, it must be that of Grandpa Jiawen, right? What do you mean by erecting a statue of me?"
Lester tilted his head.
"Really don't want it anymore?"
The girl nodded firmly.
"No, no, no, the thought of Demacians looking up at my statue... it's too, too shameful, isn't it?"
"Then forget it, you gave up on your own."
Lester looked at Durand again.
"You can create a new Colossus plan. The shape and specifications are up to you."
Du Lang was obviously relieved. It was difficult to meet the requirements of the statue, and it was even more difficult to specify the shape of the statue. Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen to him.
"If I design it myself, it will definitely be simple and practical, and it should be completed in two years."
"That would be even better. Come to me after you complete the design, and I will coordinate all forces to help you build the Forbidden Demon Stone Colossus."
Durang stood up and shook hands with Leicester.
"Don't worry, Lord Lester, I will definitely complete the design sketch as soon as possible."
…
A month later, Du Lang found Lester with a thick stack of hemp paper.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lester motioned to his little attendant to entertain the somewhat nervous middle-aged stonemason, and he began to flip through the design sketches.
The first dozen or so drawings are decomposition drawings of the colossus, marking the various parameters of the colossus and the ratio of mixed materials. The face is the same as that of the hero Galio. The following dozens of hemp papers record the estimated construction period of the stone statue and the number of manpower and materials.
Budget, the entire design sketch contains no unnecessary nonsense or blank spaces. It is concise and complete. It can be said to be a treasure of engineering and masonry skills.
Gently placing the thick design drawing on the table, Lester showed a little more respect to the man with thick eye bags in front of him.
Du Lang is indeed a talent, he almost wants to traffic in people.
"The design sketch is very feasible, but there are still some places that need to be modified. For example, write a few '正' characters on the inner thighs of the colossus, and then carve the simplified faces of Miranda and me on them. Remember to be more intimate, Milan
I want to raise two fingers..."
He discussed with Durang the small things that needed to be modified. Although Durang didn't know what the word '正' and Miranda's happy face meant to Leicester, the stonemason did not refuse this small request, which would allow the Crownguard family and Miranda's happy face to
A big celebrity in the upper echelons of Demacia owes a favor. Only a fool would not do such a good deal.
It is true that he is a master of stone carving, but the master of stone carving is not a big deal in Demacia. It is the nobles who are more popular and respected by the people.
After explaining the matter, Lester pointed to the two huge wings of the colossus on the sketch with some curiosity. Logically speaking, Galio's wings were something that only appeared in Demacia to pay tribute to the two guardian angels. Angels in this life have long been
When he was led to the Emerald Territory, he didn't expect that Galio designed by Durang still had two wings. In addition, he was also very curious about Galio's big tail.
"Why would you want to design wings and tail for the colossus? Judging from the weight of the wings and tail, it should bring a huge burden to the stability of the statue, right? It will also delay the construction time and increase the difficulty of construction."
"Yes, the wings and tail will make it more difficult to build, especially the wings, which will make the Colossus unstable."
Taking a sip of tea, Du Lang said bluntly.
"But without its wings, this colossus is like a bird that can't fly. That would be too stupid. I don't like it, so I think it should have wings. As for the tail of the colossus, it's because I
I want to balance the instability caused by the wings of the colossus, and the dragon lizards of the dragon lizard knights have tails, which are as agile as dragon birds and as fast as dragon lizards. This is my design concept."
"But it can't fly, and it's not a bird. It's just a stone statue. Why would you want it to fly?"
Lester stared closely at Du Lang, whose tired face showed a bit of longing and romance that belonged to a designer.
"It can't fly, but I heard you say it will follow the soldiers onto the battlefield. Mr. Lester, I'm just an ordinary stonemason. I can't pick up weapons to defend my family like the men of Demacia."
Country, this is my lifelong regret,
I am neither an invincible fearless pioneer nor a dragon-fowl-lizard knight who dominates the sky and the ground. All I can do is build a guardian colossus for the country. In my opinion, Galio's two wings are Demacia.
The fearless vanguard and dragon bird knight, the tail is the dragon lizard knight, and Galio himself is the will of all Demacians to protect the country. As long as Galio is still there, Demacia will not be harmed by evil mages.
"
The middle-aged man swept away his previous fatigue, and his eyes seemed to be burning with blazing fire.
"Sweep away injustice and war with your wings, and guard the glory of the country with your chest. This is the meaning of Galio's birth. Even if I leave this world, Galio will still stand quietly on the land of Demacia, watching day and night.
Looking at this peaceful and beautiful land is enough for me to sleep underground proudly, and these wings are the wings I gave Galio. Maybe Galio will really be able to fly in the future?"
An unspeakable silence enveloped the three of them. The little attendant quickly gave them more tea, but Du Lang scratched his head in embarrassment.
Ideals will always lose to reality.
"Uh, um, I was just joking. I'm sorry, Mr. Lester, I will delete the wings..."
"No, give Galio wings."
Lester picked up the tea cup and looked at the blue sky, staring at the stars hidden under the sky.
"I believe that Galio will definitely fly."
…
After the blueprint was finalized, Demacia's most powerful Fearless Vanguard and the Dragon Bird Knights sealed off a piece of land on the southern outskirts of Demacia's capital, and no one was allowed to enter or exit the area.
Simple wooden houses were built one after another, and groups of masons from all over Demacia got off their carriages, gearing up to complete Demacia's greatest work.
Under Theresa's coordination, all the magic wood powder output in the magic stone forest was supplied to the construction project of the Colossus. At the same time, more than 3,000 skilled stonemason workers were mobilized to gather in the open space in the southern suburbs. Under the command of Durang
Construction of the Forbidden Stone Colossus began, and another 10,000 people were dedicated to transporting daily supplies and consumables for the stonemasons and completing some non-technical work. The scale of the project was unprecedented.
Because Lester needed to supervise the entire construction process, the eldest lady of the Crown Guard family ran to the southern suburbs every day, sitting next to the man and asking questions. She seemed to have forgotten the court etiquette she had learned, and was addicted to dusting all day long.
