Chapter 258: Featured Buildings
In "Qiankun", architecture is different from pharmacy and blacksmithing. Forging weapons is nothing more than metal, fuel, and water for quenching, and pharmacy is only based on materials and utensils, and there is no difference between what is done in Bigbowau and what is done in Saramonroe; However, architecture depends on where you apply it, and Bigbower's style of architecture is never the same as Saramonroe's.
Artificial floating islands are an important example of the above statement. It not only requires ingenious architects, but also just the right weather, environment and building materials, so that it is convenient to float in another place.
Patra, the chief architect of the Dusk Empire, created artificial floating islands. Of course, this is only a small matter for him, because before the "Doomsday Confrontation", he was already the most famous master builder of Saramonroe, and the guardian hero of the architectural world. Now the master is sitting in his drawing room, smiling and asking, "What are the construction plans?" β
Brian said, "It's nothing, I just heard that you're back, take a look at you." β
Necromantic creatures don't know the sun and the moon once they work, and Master Patra is even more so, although he built a floating island in January, he finished building one, wrote the form on the spot, and immediately rushed to the next location, it was almost twelve months of continuous rotation, and this was the first time he came back since the project began.
While the two were chatting, at the dock of the "City of Waiting", a few little ones were preparing to go on an adventure.
"Come on!" Suo'er hugged the "lettuce girl" and sat in the boat, her face full of excitement. She rarely takes a boat on weekdays, so she doesn't get tired of sitting. She urged a few times, and when she saw that Rudy was still not on the boat, she smiled and held up the curse doll: "You think she's cute too, right?" ο½β
"It's ...... Cute ......" Rudy looked at Suo'er stupidly, and lost his temper again, and the blood was like a waterfall. He can't be blamed for this, who let Su'er change into a new dress? This bandeau is fragrant and beautiful, but the black and white colors make Suo Er fresh and refined, and the two aesthetics are combined to create a new beauty, which is not trivial for the stimulation of teenagers.
"Let's go, I'll be back in an hour!" With a flick of her hand, several threads wrapped around Rudy and pulled him into the cabin. The princess's time could not be delayed, and she had an hour to let off steam, all because she had been promoted to a senior professional, and in the past, Chief Jont had to lock her up with a chain.
The boatman flicked the lamp and slowly propped it up.
The two of them took a boat, and the soul fire demon was a little heel. Teleport, Teleport, Teleport...... The Soul Fire Demon unleashed [Teleportation] on the surface of the sea again and again. When it activated, the nearest soul fire would suddenly light up, so that the light flickered, one after another, making the boat seem to be traveling in a sea of stars. Every time [Teleportation] has to spend most of the soul value of the soul fire, it is really a loser, but the soul fire makes the demon careless, it only knows that doing so can make Her Royal Highness the princess happy.
Su'er looked at the artificial star and smiled sweetly. The sky is shining, and her eyes are shining. Rudy wiped his face and secretly vowed that he would go back to learn [Teleportation], but he forgot that only the [Teleportation] of the Soul Fire Demon could create such a scene, and he would never be able to imitate it.
The boat soon docked. Su'er took her skirt and jumped lightly to the shore, and her first words were: "This place is really nice!" It's a pity that the space is empty and there are few people. "The place where they came was the newly completed floating island of Patra, and at this time there were only adventurers from the guild and hired necromantic creatures, and of course there were few people.
Floating islands are a characteristic building of the Dusk Empire, and other countries can only reclaim the sea to create islands. First of all, the joint scientific research center selects the bones of the appropriate size, picks out the bone marrow, infuses it with dead air, and then marks the number one by one and sends it to the preset location; Secondly, the construction team built the bones with each other according to the number, and glued them with super glue "grease and mucus" to make a huge honeycomb-like tissue, which had to transfer hundreds of small boats, because the honeycomb tissue must not be launched at this time; Then, wait for the "grease and mucus" to dry through. There are countless birds grabbing the dead spider over, using spider silk and bird feathers to make a large skin, completely wrapping the honeycomb tissue, but also to make it bigger, the skin should be loose, then put down, the water pressure will press the skin inside, so that the skin is tightly attached to all corners of the honeycomb tissue, forming a perfect waterproof layer. This work is meticulous and there is no room for error, and it is best to hand it over to a necromantic creature that can work continuously and intensively.
Once the foundation is laid, all that's left is to pile dirt on top. Dead air dissolves in water and often precipitates on the bottom of the sea, but after being separated from the water by a layer of bone and skin, it will attract each other to the clouds of dead air in the sky, like the "Fermat airship", which is why this island can be called a "floating island" rather than a "big ship". Various buildings can be built on the island, but no pipe can open the skin. In addition, the construction team has to take the form for inspection every year to prevent the skin from being broken and causing accidents. When the Guild's reputation reaches a certain level, Master Patra will consider expanding the station.
The reason why floating islands cannot be replicated is, firstly, because of special building materials, and secondly, because of the environment. There are clouds in the Necronomicon that exert traction, but elsewhere there is only gravity; The waters of the Sea of Bones are different in that they contain dark elements, dead air, and a variety of minerals, and are much denser and much more buoyant than the waters of the Dead Sea in the real world. In addition, the Sea of Bones is an inland sea, so there are basically no waves, so it will not be damaged by tsunamis or hurricanes in the first place, and floating islands are naturally viable.
And Master Patra was still not satisfied. One of the things he and his protΓ©gΓ© said the most was to build an empty island, and only the empty island is the strongest work in the history of architecture, which is a proof that intelligent life is challenging the sky. Some of the great buildings related to the sky in history have been shattered by force majeure, such as the Tower of Babel, such as the Hanging Gardens, and the reincarnated Patra wants to challenge it no matter what.
Of course, Princess Su'er doesn't understand these things at all, she only thinks "wow, it's a pity that there is no space and there are few people".
The guild that got this floating island is the "Horror Wax Museum", and its president is a teenager, so most of the members are junior high and high school students, although they don't have enough experience, but the online time and fighting spirit are first-class and strong. This guild was the first to form an alliance with the Dusk Empire, so the members all knew Suo'er, and they all greeted Suo'er and gave her small gifts; Sa'er also smiled and handed out candy (leftovers from the Halloween event) as a reward for the mission, and soon distributed all the candy.
Then the little girl turned around and said triumphantly to Rudy, "Do you know what it's called? β
Rudy shook his head honestly, and he would be honest in front of Suo'er: "I don't know." β
"It's called winning people's hearts! ~ I have a good relationship with adventurers, so they will go to Daddy and help Daddy in the future! Only if you know how to win people's hearts can you be a qualified king! β
Rudy is really at a loss this time, he grew up in the underworld, and because of various special conditions, he doesn't know what "winning people's hearts" is. Then he wondered: "Since they have won the hearts of the people, why didn't this guild send the main force to participate in the war?" β
Su'er sighed, pursed her lips, and was very disappointed.
It is said that a long time ago, the Dusk Empire's control was only the "City of Waiting", and at that time, the White Bone Tyrant was weak, and except for the "Wax Museum of Terror", there were no guilds willing to ally with the White Bone Tyrant, even in the clash of factions. Many people say that the wisest thing that Shan Shui Yishan did was to attack Orquila with the Tyrant of Bones, establishing himself as one of the four major necromantic guilds. It's a pity that since the video of the torture and killing of pregnant women spread, the mountains have distanced themselves from the Dusk Empire. Even if other guilds set aside their main forces to participate in the defense of Lishan Villa, the waterfront mountain also maintained a consistent attitude of "not supporting, encouraging, and not opposing", and only cared about spending time on their own floating islands, so there were only a few hundred people participating in the battle in the "Horror Wax Museum", which was dispensable.
It can be said that even if His Majesty's hands and eyes are up to the sky, he can't win over this waterfront mountain, which is a strange thing.
Seeing that the princess was not very happy, Rudy hurriedly began to tell a joke inarticulately. I don't know if it's a joke or if he looks funny, Su'er finally burst out laughing, but after that, he was a little depressed, and the sadness between his brows lingered, regretting that he wanted to get back what he said and eat it back. After spending so much time with the princess, Rudy figured out one thing: the princess likes her father-in-law very much, and she likes it so much that she always thinks about her father-in-law's good and can't see her father-in-law's bad, which is, in the words of an adventurer, a "father-lover complex".
So, Rudy didn't feel good about it.
The floating island was fresh, and the boys and girls played for a full hour and a half, and then they remembered that it was beyond the time to let the wind go, and hurried back. Needless to say, Suo'er, who was trained by Chief Jonte, was also very afraid of the old man, and the two of them thought that the boat was slow, so they directly found a "Fermat airship" to rush back.

Bigbower.
On the border, there is a small town in the middle of nowhere.
In the corner of town, there is a dusty, dark and gloomy hut.
In the hut, there was an ethereal, tangible and insubstantial beautiful man, and a large group of silent ravens.
The beautiful man paced around the room, but he couldn't step on a single footprint, which showed that he was a ghost. He is the current boss of the Central Intelligence Agency of the Dusk Empire, the all-knowing Oskol, who is good at spying on intelligence, spreading rumors, and blocking news, and is an expert in intelligence warfare, and can be regarded as the henchman of the White Bone Tyrant.
He sighed very literarily, his eyes lingering, like the male protagonist in a love novel. He raised his hand, and a Silent Raven landed in his hand, after all, everyone was not a physical entity. He spoke a little confused, not knowing whether to say it to the birds or to himself: "Bigbower donates, the Knights of the Iron Hoof begin to prepare, and the Dance of Justice joins...... It seems that the Twilight Empire is about to suffer again, and the odds of victory are slim this time. Once the country is shattered and his colleagues are slaughtered, the strength of the country will be greatly reduced, and even if His Majesty can return victorious, he will surely become a puppet of Mr. Schroeder Bray. While there is still some time, should the contemptible people find a way back? Or is it better to just send this message back and do your best? β
When the Raven heard the message of "send the news back", he was about to take off, but the beautiful man took the first step and held it in his hand. The rest of the ravens were frightened and flapped their wings, but suddenly fell to the ground drunk. This is the effect of the necromantic specialty item "Qingbi Dream", which has a strong psychedelic effect on necromantic creatures!
The beautiful man took out a small machine that resembled a stirrer from the corner of the wall, and if a researcher from the Joint Research Center was here, he would immediately find that this machine was specially designed to eliminate spiritual imprints, and it was necessary for the production of pure white abomination. He picked up a bird, threw it inside the machine, closed the lid, and drove it with soul power. The bird was turned into darkness inside, struggled for a while, and then lay inside with its eyes blank, all its previous memories turning into red dust and expelling from the small opening of the machine. There was no longer any worry or sorrow on his face, only a depressing look, like the look of a murderer.
"I'm sorry, there are some things that I can't let Your Majesty know."
