The canal project is currently undergoing the first phase - based on the original seasonal river channel, deepening, desilting, dredging, and stabilizing the seasonal river.
In the old days, the channel of the seasonal river was cut by glaciers. After the artificial lake was built last year, the glaciers did not roll over it in the spring as usual. The melted water from the glaciers released by the artificial lake flowed down the old river channel of the year before last.
Although the river water successfully merged into the Melan River along the river course of the previous year, because it had not been crushed by glaciers, last year's river water flooded many areas, making the already bad roads even worse.
Therefore, taking advantage of this winter, the royal guards deepened the river channel, cleaned the river bed, and raised the river embankment on the basis of the old river channel, striving to completely stabilize the river.
This is a very hard job. Compared with the previous excavation of artificial lakes, the most troublesome part is that as the project progresses, the camp needs to be moved every three to five days. In addition, it is different from the artificial lake project where the location environment is stable.
, the riverbed deepening project involves a straight-line distance of nearly 500 miles, during which time it will inevitably have to face different geological environments.
In the worst place, there is a huge granite three feet below the river bed. In order to deepen the river bed, the Dharma Masters spent a lot of effort to break up the large granite underground and remove it.
Therefore, although Kalya lowered the construction speed requirement, when he came to the construction site to check the construction status, he still had to admit that the progress of the project was much lower than his expectations.
At least this winter, the river channel deepening project will not be completed.
When spring comes and the flowers bloom and the river fills with water, the project will stop. According to the current speed, the construction of this artificial river may take another two years.
It took three years to repair the river course and turn the seasonal river into a perennial river. Although this speed is a bit slow, it is not unacceptable. Thinking about this, Kalya breathed a sigh of relief, and then let Sivana take him away.
At the construction site, we continued heading north, and finally returned to Forsbarrow successfully the next day.
……………………
"So, what happened in Xiongdu?" When Kalya returned, Lux temporarily put down the work at hand and asked Kalya immediately, "Not long ago, my mother sent someone to deliver a letter to me.
, the letter asked me in detail about many details of the battle of Mithril City."
"Some bad things happened in the capital." Kalya replied, "Generally speaking, His Majesty Jarvan III used a little deception to send His Royal Highness to climb Mount Targon."
When Lux heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Without your guidance, climbing Mount Targon must be a dangerous thing, right?" Sona stroked the strings with some confusion, "Is Your Majesty so confident?"
"Maybe it has something to do with the previous angel's arrival - I'm not very clear about the specific details." Kalya told the truth, "But the good news is that I exposed this matter. If nothing else, you will receive it at home soon."
On the letter, the attitudes of the Crownguard family and the Bouvier family may change later..."
As he said that, Kalya told everything about what he saw, what he speculated, and what he did later, which made Lux and Sona stunned.
"So, what are we going to do next?" Lux swallowed hard as she tried to digest the information given by Kalya, "Are we going to start training the army?"
"Training the army?" Kalya was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "What are you thinking? It's definitely not the case - don't worry, our King is not in the mood to think about the problems in the north, and the noble council will not care about us.
The attitude of a remote place, our strategy does not need to change next, we just need to work hard to develop!"
"But the giant god interfered..."
"The interference of the Titans is troublesome, but it is not as troublesome as you think." Sensing Lux's rare nervousness, Kalya explained with a smile, "The Titans are a group of guys who lack the sense of time. For them, three to five years
, it’s almost the same thing as three or five days to us, they won’t make any big moves in a short period of time.”
"..."
Lux and Sona both blinked, seemingly in disbelief.
"Believe me, even if there is something wrong with Kyle, it will probably be three to five years before the Titan discovers the problem and responds. As long as Jarvan IV does not rely on the power of returning from the summit to integrate all of Demacia,
resources, we still have time.”
"So you chose to detonate His Majesty the King's plan and bring him into confrontation with the Noble Council?"
"That's right." Kalya admitted, "The nobles will not be willing to lose their power. Once the situation becomes tense, Jarvan IV, who has returned from the summit, will not be able to smoothly integrate the political situation. Then the nobles will have one more reason to fight against the royal family -
Perhaps, they will also want to share in the immortal power."
"Then we can continue to develop with peace of mind?"
"Continue to develop - take three years as a cycle, show off the posture you had in Zaun, and turn Forsbarrow upside down!"
Kalya's categorical words finally made Lacus and Sona feel relieved. A few days later, they received letters from their mothers (adoptive mothers). The contents of the letters were surprisingly consistent: telling them not to set foot in the capital easily.
The political situation here, and said that His Majesty the King "may deviate from the traditions of Demacia."
It seems that because the negotiations between the Noble Council and Jarvan III have not yet ended, the letters received by the two did not describe the problem in too much detail. However, gathering the news from Kalja, it can be seen that after Kalja left the capital,
, it seems that Jarvan III was quite tough in the negotiations with the Noble Council. He neither directly confessed the whereabouts of Jarvan IV nor completely vetoed the inheritance of Sento II. He has been stubbornly insisting on the whereabouts of Jarvan IV.
remain silent.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Will this lead to a civil war?" After receiving the letter, Lux asked Kalya with some worry, "It seems that the noble council and
His Majesty the King may betray you at any time."
"Civil war? How can there be a civil war!" Regarding this, Kalya was not worried at all. "Do you think the nobles could rely on the little private army they have in their hands to directly go to Luo with their swords?"
Lux blinked and realized that this seemed impossible.
After all, the garrison is completely in the hands of Jarvan III at this time, and the military has always supported Jarvan III - if it is just the disappearance of the prince, the side branch that may inherit the throne and the Illuminati will be closer, it seems
It will not shake Jarvan III's prestige among the army.
And as long as they firmly hold the army, the nobles don't have the capital to start a civil war.
"So according to my judgment, the Noble Council and Jarvan III will adopt a cold war, but they will never use force." Kalya concluded, "In other words, this can be regarded as some kind of political deal - Jarvan III gets
Being close to the power of the Illuminati may lead to the loss of control over the nobility."
"So, this is a split?"
"Not really, but... almost."
After reaching this conclusion, Lux was silent for a while.
She never thought that Demacia, which had always been united, would actually split in a short period of time, and her most respected teacher also played a very important role in this process.
Of course, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the root of this matter lies in the ambition of Jarvan III and his desire to bring the divine power under his control. It is the imbalance of the power structure that caused this split.
But she understood that after all, Lux felt a little disappointed after reaching this point. In the end, she could only let out a long sigh, then turned around and began to prepare the script for her spring speech.
……………………
The turbulent waves in Xiongdu spread to the north and have become calm.
For the people of Forsbarrow, the power struggle of the masters of the capital is far away. What they are more concerned about now is the fragrant red sorghum that sprouted newly this spring in the newly opened Forsbarrow nursery.
That's right, after a year of experimental planting, starting this spring, a new wave of fragrant red basil will be opened to the public at the Forsbarrow Nursery on a limited basis, proving to the people of Forsbarrow that Fauqueline
The plant breeding team where I work has now initially mastered the ability to grow fragrant red sage.
People who collect medicinal herbs are very aware of the economic value of fragrant red cassia. Usually people don’t collect much of this stuff because it takes up space and is bad luck. If it can be planted directly near the city, everything will be different!
Therefore, when the nursery was announced to be open, there was still an endless stream of people coming to visit, even in the severe cold of winter.
Then, in this warm atmosphere, Lux gave her spring speech again as usual.
This is the second spring speech Lux gave after coming to Forsbarrow.
The atmosphere of the speech was very lively and the content of the speech was very rich.
Different from last year, Lux started with the experience of the Battle of Mithril City, which firmly attracted the attention of the people of Forsbyro from the beginning - everyone knew that the Battle of Mithril City was won, and there were also sporadic cases.
News came from the Mithril City refugees, but these messages were fragmented and unsystematic. The Forsbarrow people were full of curiosity about the specific process of the Mithril City battle.
At the beginning of Kasuga's speech, Lux satisfied their curiosity and briefly told the story of the Battle of Mithril City (omitting the part where her brother had never fought against someone).
Kalya's carefully revised speech script allowed Lux to quickly capture the attention of the people. Their moods changed with the changes in the situation in Mithral City that Lux described. After hearing the part about flooding Mithril,
Many people exclaimed in disbelief.
Fortunately, Lux spoke quickly and clearly. She did not sell out the details and quickly finished the part about her half-crossed attack. Although these words she said were somewhat bragging, the Forsbarrow people were very
They believed it and cheered loudly. For a while, the atmosphere in the central square became quite lively.
After talking about the battle of Mithril City, Lux finally brought the topic back on track and began to make this year's "governing plan."
The cultivation of fragrant red cassia has gone through the laboratory part and is now officially moved to the nursery. Last year, several experienced herb collectors maintained the environment and cultivated the fragrant red cassia in accordance with the conditions provided by Fouquelin. It was very
A year of prosperity and decline has been successfully completed. The fragrant red cassia in the nursery this year is the result of last year's cultivation. Now the planting scale has been expanded. If everything goes well, then when the fragrant red cassia grows seeds this fall, Yufa
Participants will start a special course on the cultivation of fragrant red sage. Those who are interested in investing in the cultivation of fragrant red cassia can come to attend the class and learn.
After passing the study, the Royal Master will provide initial seeds, help build a professional nursery, and conduct unified acquisitions.
Hearing this, the crowd burst into cheers again, especially the many older herb collectors, who were full of expectations for the planting of fragrant red sage.
In addition to promoting the planting of fragrant red sage, Fosbarrow also has an important task this year, which is to build the New Port Terminal of Forsbarrow.
Xingang in the west of Forsbarrow City was the residence of the Walrus Tusk tribe in the past and the Xingang people now. After last year's construction, Xingang has begun to take shape.
Last winter, there was almost no large-scale ice on the sea surface near Xingang. People in Xingang who were unable to ice fish had no choice but to ask for help from the Dharma Master. They finally rowed ice boats away from the coastline and carried out traditional ice fishing.
After dispatching the Archon, Lux collected information about the western waters of Forsbarrow through the clerk, and then she got an extremely surprising result - although the temperature is very low, Newport is a frost-free port!
Even in the coldest time of winter, there are at most some climatic-free fine ice crystals on the sea surface. Navigation is possible all year round!
Although Lux has not heard from Ino for almost a month since she received a letter from Ino in Bilgewater, no matter whether the fur trade is successful or not, Newport, a high-latitude ice-free port,
They are all well worth the effort to build!
Therefore, Lux plans to expand the area of the new port this year and start building a pier that can berth large-scale ships.
According to the plan she and Kalya discussed together, the entire new port will extend southward, eventually crossing the remaining veins of the Dragon's Back Mountains and turning into a long and thin port city, and in the south of the city, a large dock will be built there.
.
In addition, in the direction of the artificial lake, the canal will also lead to a narrower harbor canal directly to the port, where it enters the sea.
Although the construction of this tributary is extremely difficult, it is of great significance. With this port canal, all commodities in the northern part of Demacia can be transported by water and easily reach the seaside, and then be loaded onto ships at the Newport Pier.
, transported to various places in Runeterra through the Sea of Conquest.
When the time comes, Forsbarrow, a place that was once a barren place, will become the Piltover of Demacia!
