The significance of Harper's appointment as Ralph's deputy is not just limited to the fact that Adrian began to test Harper. The leaders in the territory keenly discovered that since Harper became Ralph's deputy and appeared in public
After work, the sluggish morale of the wild pirates who were once Harper's men suddenly improved after becoming slaves, as if they suddenly found a spiritual leader.
When Ralph reported this discovery to Adrian, Adrian just narrowed his eyes, but did not make any targeted arrangements. He just ordered his four leaders to pay close attention to the slaves and servants under their respective armies.
If there are any bad signs, direct suppression is allowed. The slaves who can be selected as the servant army are the stronger ones among this group of slaves. As long as Adrian sees this group of people dead, the other slaves will turn over.
Can't bear the waves.
In fact, it was because Adrian had just created four giant crocodile dragons and the creation energy reserves in the energy well were at their lowest. Although a batch of life souls were harvested on Fibos Island, the wild pirates were not able to be killed in time.
Under the premise that the corpse of Adrian has been transformed into flesh and blood essence, the creation energy in Adrian's hand is still not enough to create Harper. After all, Harper is a high-level elf, and Adrian has not even created a lower-level elf, so it is difficult to estimate the amount.
Adrian can't take Harper into the Cauldron of Creation. Let's take a look at the energy requirements of Creation. If the energy reserve is not enough, Adrian will not be able to release Harper again. It is difficult to get Adrian without Harper.
He must keep the secret of the Cauldron of Creation. It is one thing for the three supreme royal courts to know that he has a secret, but it is another thing for him to know what the secret is.
Once Adrian takes Harper into the Cauldron of Creation, if there is not enough creation energy to create Harper, then there are only two ways in front of Adrian, kill Harper to ensure the secret, or imprison Harper
In the Cauldron of Creation, until Adrian has accumulated enough creation energy, neither path is a good choice.
The former is too wasteful. Those are high-ranking elves. There are no more than 10,000 high-ranking elves in the entire Green Sea Dynasty's vast territory. The latter will produce many unstable factors. Didn't you see that even Harper's public appearance and start of work can trigger it?
As for the morale of the slaves, if Harper suddenly disappeared, the slaves would easily have problems. Although suppression would not be a problem, it would be a pity to lose more than 300 men after all.
In the early stages of the development of this kind of territory, manpower can be regarded as Adrian's most scarce resource, so Adrian still values the more than 300 slaves very much, and must not waste them if they can, so Harper still has to
Wait, only after Adrian binds him can we really give him a stage to perform.
However, in the month after Harper became Ralph's assistant, Harper has been conscientious and loyal, as if he will fight for Adrian for the rest of his life. Under Harper's leadership, the slaves also temporarily
There was no sign of causing trouble, and the territory was able to develop at a faster pace.
The most direct manifestation is that the first large-scale infrastructure project in the Solar Storm Zone, dredging the Opal River channel, building petrified river embankments, and building a deep-water dock at the mouth of the valley, has finally been completed. This project, which has been under construction for six months, has been due to
The progress was slow due to the limited number of giants such as earth, stone elf mages, and mud giants, but Adrian actually found thirteen hard-skinned boars and six water cannon mammoths among the slaves.
The former is a good hand at stirring mud and can also function as a bulldozer, while the latter is like a water spray truck, and it is a water spray truck equipped with a high-pressure water spray gun, which greatly improves the quality of the river embankment. and the efficiency of construction work on deepwater terminals.
First, the mud giants built an earth wall on the edge of the river embankment. Then the stone elf mage and the stone giant petrified the earth wall. The earth elf mage and the mud giant continued to fill the stone wall with mud, and the water cannon mammoths sprayed it inside. Water, hard-skinned wild boars rushed in to mix the mud and water, and finally concentrated the petrification. Once the construction process was optimized, the efficiency immediately changed. The progress of the project in this month alone even exceeded the previous three months.
Adrian was very happy on the day the river embankment was completed. Sure enough, what netizens said in his previous life was right. The genes of the infrastructure mania are written in the soul. There are only two things that the descendants of my big foodie empire will never forget no matter where they go. One is Infrastructure construction, and the second is growing vegetables.
Now Adrian feels that his infrastructure propensity attribute has been maxed out, so what if he wants to try growing vegetables? Adrian thought about it and realized that he was already planning to grow beetroot such as sweet cabbage, so his vegetable planting propensity attribute was almost the same. If you order enough, then you don’t have to worry anymore, you are still a big foodie.
As soon as Adrian was happy, he made a decision. He announced in public at the inauguration ceremony: "In view of the outstanding contributions of the hard-skinned boars and water cannon mammoths in the construction of the river embankment, I, Adrian Yara, Gond Foehnwind Wendflei, the absolute master of the Solar Storm Territory, announced that all the hard-skinned boars and water cannon mammoths involved in the construction will be pardoned. From today on, they are no longer slaves, but truly become slaves in the territory. Freedmen, who gained their freedom through outstanding contributions."
Adrian's lame speech did not achieve the sensational effect he expected. Although the crusty boar and the water cannon mammoth were very happy, they did not immediately make an act of allegiance to Adrian, but While happy, he turned his attention to Harper, which made Adrian somewhat unhappy.
Harper's prestige among the slaves was beyond Adrian's expectation. Originally, Adrian thought that Harper wouldn't get much support from slaves because of his awkward personality, but all the slaves did. They used practical actions to tell Adrian how much they support Harper. This may be because the slaves are silently resisting in this way, or it may be because Harper and the slaves have known each other since they were young and "went into trouble together." ”.
Adrian would not be suspicious of Harper because of this. After all, sooner or later, Harper would have to go to the Cauldron of Creation. As the saying goes, if Harper is controlled, the slaves will not be able to make any trouble. Sooner or later, they will be I will sacrifice my life for Adrian.
He didn't get the response he wanted, so he stopped forcing it. He then announced the next infrastructure construction plan in the territory. The first step was to build a wide and completely petrified road, leading from the mouth of the valley to the redwood forest. , this will be very fast, the water cannon, mammoth water cannon rushes, the hard-skinned quilboar flattens and creates mud, the stone elf mage and stone giant can keep up with the petrification.
You don't even need to worry too much about the earth elf mage, just follow the hard-skinned wild boar and refine the mud.
Then Adrian decided to petrify all the ground in the redwood forest except for the tree altar reserved for the redwood trees. This would prevent the feet from being filled with mud and water on rainy days, and would also limit the growth of weeds and trees, leaving the redwoods free of charge.
The elf town in the woods looks much neater.
The next step is to build the square at the foot of Rivendell. This part cannot be rushed, because Adrian has big plans for this part. Not only does he want to build the square, but also the buildings around the square, and all the organizations under him in the future.
They have to set up their own headquarters here, but they can no longer sit on the floor during meetings like before. That is the practice of the grass-roots team. It looks very unprofessional and is not what Adrian likes.
In addition to the headquarters of his organization, schools, hospitals, gymnasiums and even theaters are all in Adrian's plan, and they are not going to be built with petrified soil. They must all use natural stone. Otherwise, if there is a mistake in petrochemical maintenance, there is a risk of collapse.
, compared to being ugly, that is what Adrian finds embarrassing.
This is obviously a big project that cannot be completed by Adrian's current manpower, so Adrian decided to put this part to the end, at least until the size of the engineering team increases.
In the evening of that day, Adrian called Harper and stood on the canopy of Rivendell overlooking the entire territory: "Harper, what did you see when faced with this scene?"
"It is powerful, Lord Adrian."
Adrian smiled slightly: "No, it's not strong enough. What I see is different from you. I see hope."
