In the next few days, Rhodes spent time in Dulong City. The dwarves guided him around the city. The dwarves were quite confident in their architectural skills. At the same time, they also wanted others to praise and affirm them.
.Rhode was not stingy at all in this regard. When he saw exquisite or magnificent buildings, he would praise them from time to time, which made these little dwarfs extremely happy.
Dulong City is divided into six floors. Different from human cities, they regard the floor closest to the surface as the first floor, and the further down, the number of floors increases. The first floor is some large buildings, such as the craftsman's hall.
, Lord's Hall, these are places that symbolize the glory and spirit of the dwarves, and are also the political center of Dulong City.
Compared with the buildings on the first floor, the buildings on the second floor are not so grand and splendid. They are some medium-sized buildings, markets, warehouses, breweries, smelting rooms, etc. Although the buildings on this floor are not so majestic.
It’s huge, but it has the most people coming and going. Dwarves are keen on mining and trading. All the treasures dug out of the ground are traded on this floor. People come and go, and it’s very lively. The warehouse is also a must-go for every dwarf.
A place that is equivalent to a human bank. A private bank includes a vault and a warehouse.
Breweries and production workshops are places where manual workers go. The same as cities on the ground, these areas are connected by roads to facilitate the transportation of goods and the flow of people. The difference is that the streets in human cities, here
It turned into a tunnel. Some roads are open-air, and you can see the huge hollow mountain above your head, while some roads are completely dark passages, and lights must be lit inside to see clearly.
There are many types of production workshops, including metal processing plants, gem processing plants, refineries, slaughterhouses, etc. It has to be said that dwarves are much better than humans in some aspects. When it comes to gem processing and metal processing, no one has
The race can surpass the dwarves. Dulong City is rich in various metals, especially silver products. The silver products produced here can be sold to the empire and earn more than ten times the profit. The food and daily necessities exchanged are enough for dozens of dwarves.
years of living needs.
As Goodlands said, the people living in Dulong City can be regarded as the richest people in the north. This city that developed from a refugee camp is a legend, and it is also the last place where the dwarves live in the north.
Important stronghold.
The third floor of Dulong City, that is, the third floor from top to bottom, is the treasure house. Different from the private small vault on the second floor, this is the national treasure house. No idle personnel are allowed to enter. I heard that it is full
Gold and diamonds... Only the lords of Dulong City, the Minister of Finance and a few managers can enter. Those guarding the treasure house are elite warriors and veterans of many battles.
Generally speaking, for such an important building, the dwarves would place it on the lowest level, that is, underground. However, Dulong City has a special structure. Underground is the river bay area, which is an underground river. These underground rivers can be directly connected.
To the outer sea, so from this point of view, Dulong City is actually a port. Large ships unload at the outer pier, use small boats to transport the goods into the city, and unload and trade again at the small pier in the city. Its underground pier is not at all busy.
Not inferior to the offshore pier.
At the same time, these underground rivers are also the source of water for the entire city's life and industry. For this reason, the ancestors of Dulong City dug storage tanks to separate drinking water and river water to avoid pollution.
What impressed Rhode the most was the fourth floor, the living area of the dwarves. When Goodlands brought Rhode and Caroline here, everyone was deeply shocked by the sight in front of them.
Tens of thousands of houses are densely distributed on the almost vertical rock wall.
These houses are carved out of the rock wall and are attached to the rock wall like honeycombs. They are connected through countless air corridors and bridges to form a complete dwarf living area. Looking down from the fault platform between the third and fourth floors.
, you can see densely packed streets and rooms attached to two huge rock walls. Every street and every room is lit by fire. At first glance, it looks like countless rivers of light flowing on the rock walls.
"This area was completely dug by the ancestors themselves. At first, the stronghold was just a dozen families digging houses on the rock wall. Later, more dwarves settled here, so they gathered together and continued to dig rooms around the original living area.
And the house, over time, it has become what it is now. It is very spectacular, I also think this is the most spectacular place in the entire Dulong City."
The dwarf guide introduced it excitedly. Like Rhodes, he also stood on the top of the fault cliff, admiring this extremely spectacular sight.
"Will such crazy room excavation cause the mountain to collapse?"
Rhodes asked curiously. He didn't know much about geography, but as a child who grew up under the red flag, he had learned some geography in junior high school.
But obviously the dwarves here have a far better understanding of geography than Rhodes.
"No, we have tested it and found that this mountain range is a rock mass range, which means that the soil contains very little. The little bit of stone we dug out is insignificant to the entire mountain. But what you said
In fact, the problem is also a problem. It's just not here, but in the ore area. For hundreds of years, miners have been mining there, which has threatened the safety of the mountain, so later we focused our mining on the periphery, which is Dulong City.
Over there in the outskirts of the Giant Mountains. In the language of the dwarves, that place is called Clongo's Hoot."
"Klonger hoots."
"Well, Clonge whines. You learn quickly, my lord."
The guide returned enthusiastically.
You can see Caroline's surprised and excited expression behind her. She ran out secretly, and the scenery she saw along the way opened her eyes. Before that, she had only heard about Dwarf Fortress and had not come in personally.
Pass.
However, visiting comes at a price. The temperature here is much higher than outside. For Rhodes, this is a normal temperature, but for the frost witches, it is a bit uncomfortable. Too high a temperature will offset their internal body temperature.
After all, the frost magic is not a good thing for the frost wizard after a long time. But being able to play is better than anything else. Caroline is not a high-level witch beside the queen. She has no pursuit of power and strength, so she will do
