Chapter 2796: Stubborn Nod, Original Identity Marking Technique
"Sir, the founder of Cole Construction is a prince from the Kingdom of Danzo, his name is Cole. He once traveled to Everesca. At that time, Everesca was building the eastern mountain wall landscape.
Prince Cole was invited to become an architectural consultant.
“While serving as a consultant, Prince Cole founded the Cole Building and recruited his kindred from his hometown, but he did not reject the local Evereska elves. That tradition has been passed down to this day.
"Later, Prince Cole was said to have died in an accident while traveling in the Underdark. The Cole building was inherited by Prince Cole's companions and has been developed to this day.
"The dwarven architectural style is rough and majestic, and the pinnacle works are not lacking in refinement. The cooperation with the elves completely integrates the two styles, which is impressive.
"But what I need to remind your lord is that Cole Architecture rarely accepts plans designed by outsiders. They have their own designers, and they rarely listen to the suggestions of owners. Although most of their works can be regarded as high-quality, they may not be
Suitable for us.
"In addition, the biggest variable among them is that the construction schedule is unstable! The dwarves and even the elven members of Cole Construction are very addicted to alcohol. It is almost 100% that it will affect the construction schedule. No one can determine the specific impact in advance. "
After listening to Oripus's introduction, Xia Duo was stunned for several seconds before asking: "Will their addiction to alcohol affect the quality of the construction?"
"That's not true, and as long as the building is built by Cole Construction, they will provide free maintenance for at least ten years, and the maintenance cost will be halved within a hundred years." Oripus did not deliberately discredit this point.
After hearing this, Xia Duo nodded secretly. As long as there was no problem with the quality, it wouldn't be a big problem if he had more hobbies. Moreover, Cole Construction's emphasis on quality really impressed him.
Now he is somewhat inclined to use this team. The only problem is that this team does not accept external design proposals. What should he do?
After thinking about it, Xia Duo still instructed Oripus, "You should go to Cole Building in person now and negotiate with them whether our plan can be used. If you really can't negotiate this, you can take a step back.
I agree that they can make modifications and adjustments to our plan, but the final plan must be approved by me before construction can begin."
Since the main focus is tolerance and multi-cultural integration, adding a dwarf culture is not an unacceptable thing. If Cole Architecture disagrees, he will ask Oripus to go to Danzo to recruit dwarf designers.
Or you don’t have to be a designer, as long as you have some understanding of the unique cultural symbols of dwarves and can avoid some taboos for him, it is enough.
Chateau does not intend to turn such a landmark building into an unprecedented classic. He must leave some room for improvement in the future!
What regrets him the most is that he was the only human being involved in the design and construction process this time. Human participation was too little. In the future, we may be able to support some real cooperation projects among the three races.
…
After receiving Chateau's latest instructions, Oripus left quickly, while Chateau himself continued to ask Rachel to introduce him to the Yunfeng Manor.
At the same time, his body is also continuing to explore the original magic of the power of order in the Tower of Time, which is actually just the last step.
…
Two days later, Shado's incarnation went to Sluvende with the investigation team of the Northland Alliance to conduct on-site investigation of the newly discovered foggy area.
In the past two days, Oripus and Cole Architecture had many discussions. Cole Architecture was not as stubborn as Xia Duo initially imagined. They agreed to make modifications based on the plans of designers such as Ikejita.
, adding dwarf elements.
Of course, getting Stubborn Stone to nod requires more than just a few talks. Xia Duo also needs to pay a high price for it——
Including design and construction, the total cost is more than 4.2 million Hilmer!
The total expenditure that Chateau paid to the thirteen designers of Ikegitana was less than a fraction of this figure. Although construction accounted for an absolute majority of it, the design fee was definitely not a small amount.
With such a high quotation, Chateau even wondered whether Cole Construction had included the ten-year maintenance fee exemption and the 100-year half maintenance fee.
He also asked Oripus to inquire at the Vidas Workshop, and the price quoted there was only 2.5 million Hillmel. If they promised to use them for subsequent maintenance, the price could be even lower.
This is almost double the difference!
In addition, the most critical point is that Vidas Workshop promised that the construction period would only take two months at most, but Cole Construction could only promise to complete it within one year.
This difference is too big.
However, Xia Duo was not completely unable to deal with those alcoholic dwarves and elves, so as not to let those alcoholics drag him down for a year, so he finally chose Cole Construction.
After the agreement was signed, the first installment of 100,000 Hilmer has been paid to Cole Construction, and another 1 million will be paid after the official start of construction.
After that, another one million will be paid in the mid-term, and the rest does not need to be paid immediately after the project is completed, but within one year after completion, which is slightly better than Vidas Workshop.
Vidas Workshop requires that the entire balance be paid immediately after the project is completed. In contrast, Chateau prefers a period of observation period.
…
In addition to the progress in landmark buildings, Shado's body's research on the power of order in the Tower of Time also made a qualitative breakthrough for the first time.
When he disintegrated the cycle of order, the power of order became the real primitive power. In these two days, through the "pull" between his own will and the rules of the power of order, he successfully pulled out the power of order based on [identity and order]
】The original spell.
This primitive spell can manifest visions in individuals with [Power of Identity and Order]. However, the same primitive vision cannot be manifested by other power of order spells or on other objects.
This is the regular manifestation of the power of order.
Just like on the earth, water naturally has a tendency to flow from high to low. As long as conditions are created to allow this law to appear, this law will be clearly displayed.
Generally speaking, water flowing from high to low does not require the creation of any special environment. It can be observed in nature. This phenomenon can actually be regarded as the "primitive witchcraft" of water on the earth.
.
It's just that in the magical world, the power of order is difficult to observe in the first place, let alone the rules manifested.
Now, what Xia Duo needs to do is to restore the true appearance of the rules through the various phenomena manifested by these rules, so as to truly master the rules and apply them.
[Power of Identity and Order] The original spell manifested - Identity Marking Technique is just one of them. Next, he will let more types of power of order manifest more original spells.
…
Just when Shado made a breakthrough and decided to continue to study the power of order in depth, his incarnation had successfully arrived in Sluvende with the Northland Alliance investigation team.
