On the seventh day after the New Year's banquet, Bruno finally came to the construction site of the Sky Garden again.
With the help of the extraordinary power of the suspended magic circle, Bruno's first wonder built on the Idar territory, the Hanging Garden, finally came to completion.
In addition to Bruno, almost all of Old Ford, Shabi and the temporarily idle officials in Idar City came.
Old Ford stared at the building in front of him with wide eyes, feeling excited and aggrieved at the same time.
He was excited because the construction of the Hanging Garden was finally completed, and Idar finally no longer had to spend a huge amount of nearly a thousand gold coins every month. Therefore, he estimated that next month Idar's treasury would finally receive a large amount of gold coins.
As for the grievance, thousands of lovely gold coins turned into a gaudy hanging garden in the blink of an eye, and Old Ford only felt extremely heartbroken.
Bruno, under the leadership of White Barrel, visited the hanging garden with great interest.
Although Bruno had already seen the drawings, he had not studied architecture before traveling. The dense lines would make him dazzled and he could not distinguish between east, west, north and south.
But the hanging garden in front of him was beyond his expectation.
The main structure of the wonder is supported by dozens of 25-meter-high light white marble pillars, with four floors from top to bottom, standing quietly among the mountains and forests at the foothills of Almis Mountain.
The Hanging Garden leans against a steep cliff, with waterfalls flowing down beside it. The rushing river pours down, forming a vast lake in the northeast of the Hanging Garden.
The huge terrain difference filled the gap in the water supply system. Craftsmen and serfs could directly divert water to the top of the waterfall for watering, thus saving a lot of energy and time.
The serfs also dug an artificial river around the hanging garden. The clear lake water flows at the bottom of the hanging garden, which looks unique.
The artificial river is tens of meters wide at its widest point and only three meters at its narrowest point. A light wooden sailboat can slowly sail through the river.
The nameless lake next to the Hanging Garden was originally connected to the river flowing through Idar City downstream. In other words, if you take a sailboat in the Hanging Garden, you can go down the river directly to Idar City.
Most of the vegetation in the garden are flowers and plants transplanted directly from the Almis Mountains, but there are also a small number of flowers and plants that Bruno specifically asked the salt merchant Carlio to buy from the western and central parts of the empire.
This winter, Kallio came to Idarland twice more. Not only did he buy a large amount of sugar and sea salt, but he also brought flowers and plants from the western part of the empire specifically for Bruno.
Issues such as the invasion of alien species and the different conditions of the water and soil environment are not within the scope of Bruno's consideration for the time being. After all, building a sky garden and improving the grandeur of the sky garden as much as possible is Bruno's primary consideration.
The sale of a large amount of sea salt and white sugar greatly eased the tight financial situation of Idar Territory, allowing the construction of the hanging garden to proceed normally.
The decoration of the Hanging Garden is generally in European style. Although it is different from the traditional medieval architectural style of the Norman Empire, it is also unique.
The carvings and decorations in the Hanging Garden were all made by Master Andy and his seven apprentices.
Although Andy originally wanted to finish it all by himself, the construction area of the sky garden is too huge. Even if Andy worked hard, he would not be able to complete the sculpture on time.
Therefore, in addition to the main part of the Hanging Garden, some corner courtyards and statues were completed by several sculpting apprentices.
However, although these people are just apprentices, they can already carve better than many master carvers.
The main entrance of the garden is engraved with the eagle badge of the Norman Empire. Purple satin, which symbolizes the authority of the nobility, hangs on both sides of the badge. Set off by the light green flowers and plants around it, it just feels like a fairyland on earth.
Lifelike statues, colorful flowers and plants, tall marble pillars, as well as fountains, pools, flower beds, and many other exquisite objects in the garden make the hanging garden seem like a miracle that has descended on the human world, and it is worthy of the name of a wonder.
[Task 1: Build a hanging garden (task progress: 100%)]
[The construction of the sky garden has been completed, are you sure it is completed? If you still need (expansion\decoration), please select No; if the construction has been completed, please select Yes.]
Just when Bruno finished visiting the Hanging Garden and was shocked by this unique wonder, a familiar pale golden dialogue box burst into Bruno's field of vision.
After thinking for a moment, Bruno decided to finish it directly.
Because the current appearance of the Sky Garden has actually exceeded Bruno's expectations, and now he really has no spare energy to build the Sky Garden better than this.
【Wonder is being recorded——】
[The wonder modeling entry is completed, and the system starts to activate the rating mechanism]
Taking advantage of the system's computing time, Bruno walked to a platform on the fourth floor of the sky garden, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, the outline of Idar City was looming in the distance.
I just hope that the rewards from the system will never disappoint me!
During this period of time traveling back in time, almost every step Bruno took was for the purpose of building a hanging garden. If the rewards of the wonder construction system were not strong enough, it would be too much...
Finally, the wonder construction system completed the identification of the hanging garden...
…
[Name of wonder: Hanging Gardens of Babylon (or “hanging gardens”)]
[Wonder completion level: sss]
[Coordinates of wonders: Northwest of Idar Territory, Exeter Province, Norman Empire]
[Introduction to the wonder: It is said that the Hanging Gardens were built by Nebuchadnezzar II of the Kingdom of Babylon for his homesick princess Ameydis...]
[Spectacle Feature: The work efficiency of all serfs and civilians in the areas ruled by the Stuart family is increased by 15%, and food consumption is reduced by 15%]
…
What follows is a series of dialog boxes one after another...
[Task reward: ‘150’ brilliant points]
[Hard work award: ‘10’ brilliant points]
[The Wonders Illustrated Book has been generated——]
[The system mall has been unlocked——]
Not to mention the newly unlocked system mall and the brilliant points obtained, the spectacle of the sky garden alone almost made Bruno cheer loudly!
The work efficiency of serfs and civilians increased by 15% and food consumption decreased by 15%. Who said that the hanging gardens are useless? This is simply good news for the farming party!
Who said spectacles harm the country?
This is clearly the miracle of rejuvenating the country! The miracle of strengthening the country!
