Chapter 1099: The Supply Depot in the Python River Valley
Trist is a great guide.
His extensive knowledge allows him to tell the truth about whatever he sees, and some allusions and history are almost at his fingertips—especially the history of the Great River Nomads.
In this case, Rhodes stood on the deck with great interest, completely treating Trist as a tour guide......
Of course, with Rod's character, he asked very diligently, and he would never miss the opportunity to try it, but he never bought a single item from beginning to end.
That's right, Rhodes is the kind of guy I always watch, but the last copper Hex won't pull out.
In this case, the surrounding river nomad vendors quickly realize that although this guy has a big boat (not actually Rhodes's), he is a dime a dime bastard - so they gradually disperse, rowing small colorful sailboats, looking for new customers.
Nobody wants to lose money, does they?
Seeing the sail boats from the beginning of the circle to the later dodge, Rod smacked his lips with some pity.
Seeing this scene, Trist couldn't stop crying and laughing-"Mr. Rod, in fact, because of the tax revenue of Fuguang Island, you are now a well-known rich man in Valoran...... You don't have to be so economical. ”
Trist pointedly accentuated his tone on the word "thrift," as if trying to suggest that Rhodes should not go too far.
However, Rod didn't look a little embarrassed about Trist's words, he turned his head and looked at Triste, and his tone was full of disbelief: "Trist, did you misunderstand something?" I'm not here to travel, so why waste my gold on those inexplicable gadgets? ”
You're not here for a tour?!
You still have the face to say that you are not here to travel?
You are not here to be a tour guide?
It's a pity that Rhodes is the head of Trist, and this kind of thought Trist is at most slanderous.
"Alright, alright." Seeing that Trist seemed a little unhappy, Rod smiled and took out a map, "It's just a little relaxation just now - you don't know, I've been with it for more than a week, and I'm about to petrify, and now I'm finally able to be lively." ”
Shaking his head, Trist really didn't know what to say to Rod who looked like this, so he simply focused his attention on the map that Rod took out and looked at it carefully.
"Very careful map." Trist looked closely at the rainforests, trails, and coastlines marked on the map, "It's not common to see this kind of treasure map. ”
"A piece of collectible." Rod nodded, "From the Philos family, with the friendship of Lady Camille. ”
"Is that Miss Qinggang Shadow?" Trist had long expected Rhodes' wide range of friends, "I thought it was the collection of the Camodan family. ”
"It used to belong to Camodan." Rod blinked, "Later it belonged to Philos, now it belongs to me." ”
"You also made the markings on the map?"
"That's right." Rod nodded, "How about that location, I have a supply depot prepared there." ”
"You're very good at picking positions." After thinking about it for a moment, Trist had to admit Rhodes' level, "If the map is correct, it does seem to be the best location for a supply station." ”
"That's where we're going." After confirming the direction, Rhodes put away the map, "By the time we get there, the supply depot there should already be a scale." ”
"Oh?" Trist was a little surprised, "Construction has already begun?" ”
"Of course." Rhodes stretched, then picked up his white staff, "Time is precious to me - work has already begun on the four sides of the meeting......
……………………
By the time the ship sailed against the current and came to the location marked on the map, it was already evening.
A rudimentary-looking but massive supply depot stood quietly among the trees of the ancient forest of Kumang.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast a long shadow on the towering walls of the supply station, and Trist looked at the station curiously, trying to spot Rhodes' design ideas.
To Trist's surprise, however, he was not able to find a single element of the building that belonged to a particular architectural style.
The marble building looks a lot like the Shurima people, but the unfinished texture of the circle makes it look very different from the Shurima architecture.
The thick walls, large arches, and pointed domes look a bit like Noxian architecture, but unlike Noxian buildings, which were originally designed to fight, this supply depot is not "rugged" enough.
The resupply station nestled in the middle of the forest as a whole seems to form a subtle harmony with the natural environment, but this harmony has nothing to do with Ionia's way of equilibrium.
All in all, whenever Trist thinks he's found a certain style, he subconsciously denies it.
In this case, Trist was really curious about what kind of architectural style Rhodes had chosen—and if he had known Rhodes earlier and seen Violet Dream, he would have found that the style of this supply depot was exactly the same as that expensive tavern!
That's right, if there's any style to this depot, it's Dalaran style!
When building the supply station, Rhodes directly took out the architectural drawings of his own [Rhodes Museum] in Dalaran in his previous life.
For Rhodes, it was a meaningful souvenir, and the Rhodes Museum was an iconic building in Dalaran that he owned as a member of the Council of Six in Dalaran, and it was filled with interesting knick-knaks that he had carefully collected.
There's always something to pay for saving the world from the Burning Legion, right?
And these hired Picheng construction workers, although not very familiar with the style, according to the drawings, they still did their job well.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Rhodes had seen this supply depot - although there were some differences in materials, at least on the outside, the building really looked a bit like his own Museum of Heavens and Worlds......
So, while Trist was still wondering about the architectural style, Rhodes happily walked down the gangway and into the gate of the supply station.
Trist hastened to follow—and as he followed Rhodes into the depot lobby, a familiar voice made him smile.
"You bastards, hurry up and paint up, don't waste Lao Tzu's time - damn it, I'm going to grow hair in this rainforest!"
"It's because of your grinding, Trist has gone to Picheng to find Picheng girls, and I still have to raise mushrooms in this place where only birds!"
