The magic caravan stopped at the south gate of Ruyter City. Suldak took the lead in opening the door and jumped out of the car.
Looking up at the tall city gate, there are six magic bed crossbows placed side by side on the huge arrow tower at the top. However, these magic weapons are covered with tarpaulins and tied with black chains around them. Under the city wall are some warehouses for military supplies. Although the entire city wall
It has been well repaired, and many dilapidated areas have been filled with pozzolanic cement, and craftsmen have also retained the original wall gaps.
The sky garden at the city gate has almost been built. Stone pillars more than 20 meters high rise from the city wall, dragging huge arched stone beams. These stone beams form a huge aerial corridor above the city wall.
The dense construction wooden frames have been removed one after another, exposing the entire city gate. At the top of the city gate is a beautiful hanging garden.
Many businessmen from other places who come to Ruit City for the first time will be attracted by the magnificent buildings above the city gate.
The passage at the city gate was busy with traffic. A large number of four-wheeled carriages carrying supplies entered Luyt City in a long queue from outside. Surdak saw that these four-wheeled carriages were not only loaded with food, but also some meat and dry goods.
, cloth, ironware, and items are very mixed, and it can be seen that they are all transported to the dry cloth plane.
"Where are so many supplies shipped every day?" Surdak didn't think the residents of the Ganbu Plane had such a high spending power.
"Well, the war in the Ganbu plane against the low-level demons was victorious. Many lords of Tarapa Gan will also secretly go to Mukuso City. It is said that they want to learn some details of the battle at that time in the city. After all, it is not necessarily where
God, they will also encounter similar situations." Siya said as usual.
"First it was the lords, and then there were some knights and adventure groups who wanted to enter Ganbu and visit some famous war sites. In fact, our travel agency also has such tourism projects, and we travel to all the war sites along the way.
Attractions, otherwise why do you think there would be adventure groups willing to come to us?"
"Now the permanent population of Mukusuo is less than 500,000, and the floating population is nearly 300,000. Even the townhouses in the outer city are almost full of residents. In addition, the repair of your outer city wall has been suspended.
It has been parked for so long and has not been repaired. I heard that many citizens are complaining about this."
"You may not know yet, because Mukuso City implements a teleportation toll subsidy, and after the main road to Hammond Town is opened, supplies will be transported from the small towns around Mukuso City to Mukuso City
, is far less expensive than transporting supplies from the southern area of Tarapagan around Ruit City, so many businessmen will purchase supplies from Tanan and send them to Mukuso."
"At least half of the daily necessities of the 800,000 citizens will be transported from Ruit City, which is why there are so many trucks in the city now."
After hearing what Thea said, Surdak slapped his forehead. The original purpose of these planes was to import resources into the Green Empire and maintain the prosperity of the Green Empire. Once the resources of these sub-planes were exhausted, they would be overthrown by the lords.
They abandoned them. Unexpectedly, the Ganbu plane now went completely in the opposite direction, and was currently absorbing various resources in Tanan to feed itself.
However, it is precisely this kind of business model that allowed Ruit City and Mukuso City to return to their previous appearance in just two years, and even became much more prosperous than before.
There are now many commercial banks in the two cities, and the vitality can be felt throughout the city.
Surdak climbed up the city wall along the narrow steps. There is currently no vertical lift in the sky garden. If you want to climb up to the sky garden, in addition to using the steps on the city wall, you have to climb six floors.
High simple wooden ladder.
At present, the construction section at the city gate has been basically completed, and the sky garden has taken on what it should look like.
In early spring, many green plants have been transplanted to the beams of the arch bridge. In the Suldak plan, the pillars and construction bridge will be covered with ivy, and the corridor above needs to be planted with two rows of tall hibiscus trees.
A sky garden will surround half of Ruit City.
Now that the part that has been repaired has exposed the tip of the iceberg, the citizens know that Surdak is so generous, and that in order to raise money to build the hanging garden, he still launched a plane war.
Last autumn, there were still countless people who criticized this matter, but with the victory of the plane war, these objections were washed away by the tide of cheers after the victory.
It was only in the spring of this year that many Luyite people began to seriously observe the building under construction.
"It's really grand..." Siya, who was halfway up the climb, was tapping her legs and complaining.
It is definitely a cruel thing for a Janna Sea Tribe to use their transformed legs to climb stairs.
Surdak stopped, hovering on the wooden steps and said to Thea:
"In my design blueprint, this hanging garden has more than just one floor, but in this Bailin plane war, at most, this floor can be built in front of me."
Thea asked in surprise: "...How many layers should it have in your plan?"
"Fourth floor." Surdak replied.
Baron Martino walked down the wooden stairs and said with a serious face: "If you build it higher, the lowest stone pillar will not be able to bear the weight of the top..."
Surdak did not respond, but pointed to the eighteen marble-covered columns that had been built in front of him and expressed his appreciation:
"Martino, you have built this garden very well. It has exceeded my expectations, especially the exquisite reliefs on the columns."
Baron Martino said indifferently: "You can continuously transport volcanic ash cement from a deserted land. I am only responsible for supervising the construction. How is it difficult? As for those reliefs, they are just masons carving reliefs on the stone slabs. I
Then just stick these relief stone slabs on the pillars with pozzolana cement."
He is a stubborn person and an architect with great ideas. Once he decides on something, he must argue whether it is right or wrong.
"But what you just said is that you should continue to build this hanging garden upwards. I don't agree with this!" Martino said to Suldak again: "These columns are only so thick. If you want to continue building blocks upwards, below
We need to add new load-bearing columns..."
"...Unless I can find those floating stones used to make floating devices. If there are enough floating stones, theoretically a palace can float in the air." Suldak turned around and interrupted Baron Martino.
Baron Martino was slightly startled. He could not argue with Suldak's idea because it was theoretically possible.
However, the biggest and only problem with this idea is the 'floating stone'.
Martino said: "I know, but the three major floating mines in the Green Empire were all abandoned many years ago...so this idea is simply impossible to realize. Let's go and see what leads to Tower North."
highway!"
Baron Manino stepped forward, pointed to a road heading straight north outside the city, and said to Suldak on the suspended wooden staircase.
The group of people climbed up the wooden stairs to the main corridor of the hanging garden. The view here became quite wide, and the road leading to the north of Tarapagan came into view more clearly.
Luke and Charlie, who were supervising the work at the Sky Garden construction site, heard that Suldak had come to inspect the progress of the project and hurried over from the construction site where the cement columns were being poured.
These two young people who came out of the village of Wall expanded the Mukusuo First Engineering Construction Team to nearly 10,000 people. They are the actual managers of this huge engineering team. Now they have settled their families in Lu
It City.
The group went to the cement stone pillars under construction again, and Surdak learned about the construction conditions on site. Here, Surdak once again felt the jungle woven with reinforced concrete, full of the modern atmosphere in his memory.
He held onto the gray-white cement wall with one hand and looked at the concrete pillars surrounded by wooden boards. He couldn't help but close his eyes and sense the last remaining memory fragments in the depths of the sea of spiritual consciousness.
After a long time, Suldak opened his eyes and looked around with a somewhat lonely expression. Before leaving here, he invited Charlie, Luke and Baron Martino to go back to the castle for dinner.
…
On the way back to the castle, a few magic caravans at the crossroads ahead caused traffic congestion. This is the only way to enter the noble district. If you want to take a detour, you have to walk along the inner city wall to the east and west walls.
Only then can you enter the noble area through the passage over there.
The coachman originally wanted to jump out of the car and run to the front to see what was going on.
Siya used the 'Sight Spell' in the carriage, and happened to see that the cause of the congestion was due to the protruding decorations of two magic caravans with noble emblems being twisted together. The fastest way to deal with it was to twist the twisted caravans together.
They were cut off at the same place, but the carriage drivers on both sides seemed to be quarreling, and the nobles in the carriage refused to come forward, so they could only block it there for a while.
Surdak didn't want to judge the right or wrong of this kind of thing. According to the practice of nobles, it is your fault that your status is low.
But now the two sides were in a stalemate, and it looked like it was very troublesome, so he decisively waved his hand and asked the coachman to drive the magic caravan around the east city wall.
The road here is relatively narrow and the road condition is relatively poor. The magic caravans of the nobles rarely go this way.
The magic caravan drove slowly in the middle of the road. On both sides of the street were stalls set up by some vendors. Some craftsmen who came down from the city walls were scattered on the street. They probably all had some spare money in their hands. They were walking on the street.
While walking around, I would buy some snacks from street stalls.
The whole street is filled with the strong smoke of fireworks, and many residents of Ruit City will also come here to buy snacks.
Pedestrians almost all gave way to the magic caravan when they saw it. Suldak also teased Charlie whether the food at the construction site was mediocre, which was why so many craftsmen came out to buy street food. Charlie could only
Complaints about the influx of large amounts of supplies into Ruit City directly led to the rich variety and low prices of these street snacks. There are always some craftsmen who get tired of the food on the construction site and will come out to change their taste.
When several people were sitting in the magic caravan chatting, Siya suddenly let out a cry of surprise, then reached out and pulled the bell to ask the carriage driver to stop.
Without saying anything, she opened the door, jumped out of the car, and walked back quickly.
Surdak turned his head and looked through the rear window, just in time to see a slightly familiar figure sitting on the street crying, with black iron chains on his hands. Three knights from the guard camp were riding beside him, urging her. It seemed that they were going to kill her.
Take it wherever.
Several knights from the guard camp saw Thea walking over. Apparently the leader knew her and was explaining something.
Surdak looked at the dusty figure sitting on the ground again, and then he remembered that he had seen him in the tourist commune in the morning. It was the sweet-looking female swordsman who came over to strike up a conversation. Unexpectedly, he was now being raped.
The guard camp was locked up.
He hesitated for a while, then walked out of the carriage, came to Siya and asked:
"what happened?"
A guard battalion knight saw that Surdak was wearing a magic pattern structure and immediately responded: "Sir, this group of people were stealing in the city and were caught by us. According to the laws of Ruit City, their mastermind will
He will be imprisoned, and other accomplices will be expelled from Ruit City."
Those young people were clearly a group of young swordsmen who had just graduated from the academy. Their eyes looked forward to the adventurous life. It could even be said that they knew nothing about the outside world and could not look like thieves at all.
"What did they steal?" Surdak asked calmly.
"A bag of gold," replied the guard camp knight.
Surdak glanced at the female swordsman sitting on the ground, and asked the guard camp knight: "Is the evidence conclusive?"
"Yes." The guard camp knight continued.
Suldak's voice became heavier and he said: "Let them stay here and wait, and you can go and show me the court notes."
Seeing that Suldak had no intention of revealing his identity, Siya showed her identity card to the three guard camp knights.
Probably after seeing the duties of the West Asia City Hall, the knight captain of the guard battalion standing in the middle quickly stood up and said:
"There was no court hearing and the verdict was handed down on the spot. Here are the verdict notes!"
Then he took out the palm-sized parchment notebook in his arms. There were only a few sentences on it. Surdak took it and took a casual look. He raised his head and asked the knight captain: "The notebook said they stole Cervi."
A pocket of gold coins from Baron Si?"
Without waiting for the knight captain of the guard camp to answer, he turned around and asked the female swordsman sitting on the ground: "What... do you want to say?"
The female swordsman raised her head and saw Suldak, and immediately remembered that he was the construct knight she had seen at the travel commune in the morning. Then, as if grasping the last life-saving straw, she quickly said:
"That pocket of gold coins is ours. We didn't steal it. They forced us to write those records. If we don't write them, we will be put in jail..."
Her voice was full of grievances, and it was obvious that this was her first time experiencing this kind of thing.
Surdak didn't look at the three guard camp knights next to him who had already come back to their senses. Seeing that Surdak had a straight face and no intention of continuing, she immediately blew the whistle hanging on her chest.
.The golden whistle in front of.
Hearing this whistle, the three guard battalion knights standing aside could certainly hear it. On the first day of their tenure, they would be specially trained to memorize several unique whistle sounds. This was to signal the guard battalion knights and the security officers of the security brigade in the surrounding area.
They put down everything at hand and immediately headed to the place where the whistle occurred.
There are two unique whistles of this kind in Ruit City. They should be in the hands of the consul and the speaker of the House of Representatives respectively. However, these two highest positions in Ruit City are held by one person. Then they thought of something.
——The Archon of Ruit City came back yesterday.
Although I just glanced at it from a distance yesterday, the blurry figure overlapped infinitely with the construct knight in front of me, and the construct knight captain's face became paler...
