Chapter 678. Leisure on weekdays
When Kant returned to his room, he collapsed on the bed.
I slept until the next morning.
Because I didn't make an appointment with Croritz in advance, I didn't have any plans for today.
After a good night's rest, Kant went out alone with a full spirit.
Not far from the B&B building is the old palace of the Land of the Dead.
Although it was demolished into ruins, Kant still wanted to look inside.
Stepping into the palace gate, there were many workers busy working inside, not noticing Kant shuttling among them.
Kant looked up and saw that the stone roof of the palace had been removed by the workers of the repair army, because the entire inner wall of the palace was connected, so when the roof was destroyed, the edge of the wall in some places also collapsed a lot.
Kant walked into the corridor where the troops had been fighting and arrived at the battlefield of the melee.
The altar in the center of the room was also dismantled, but the open flame was retained. It seems that the workers will also be working here at night.
The ground made of stone bricks with the emblem of the Land of the Dead was smashed, revealing the dirt underground.
Some of the dirt was darker in color, and it felt like blood had penetrated the ground.
Kant sighed in his heart and prayed silently for the soldiers who died in battle. He exited the room.
Kant paused at the doorway to the promenade, hesitating to check out the dungeons and infirmaries that Bandak had mentioned earlier.
After much deliberation, I gave up.
Immediately walked out of the palace.
Kant continued to wander the streets casually, browsing the streets as he went.
The streets are full of workers who are in charge of transportation, and it is quite lively.
In this way, Kant followed the flow of people, strolling through the streets for his most relaxed moments in recent times.
Didn't get back to the property until dinner time.
Met Crowez, who came looking for him.
"Hello lord." Crorez greeted.
"Hmm." Kant nodded and sat down on a chair in the hall to rest: "When did you come over?" ”
Before he went out, he received news from the attendants that Croriz had come to look for him while he was resting. So he asked someone to send a message to Croez: meet at the B&B at dusk.
I didn't expect Croez to arrive so early.
"Not long after I came, you arrived, my lord." Krowriz said.
"Then let's stay for dinner together, and we'll talk about it after dinner." Kant suggested.
Croretz nodded slightly in surprise: "Thank you, Lord, for the invitation." ”
As dinner time approached, the halls and kitchens were populated with people.
Some of the assistants who work for the cooks also help deliver meals to the workers who work on the construction site in shifts.
Kant led Croretz to the box in the wing hall on the second floor and sat down, and then soldiers continued to bring prepared meals from the back kitchen.
This meal was very restrained, and Kant had the habit of eating without saying a word, so after taking the rice bowl, he did not say a word.
Croretz usually dined in the barracks with the noisy workers, but he was a little unaccustomed to the slightly deserted atmosphere.
After a few bites, I put down the dishes and chopsticks. He said to Kant, who was sitting opposite: "I'm done eating, lord, you use it slowly." ”
Kant looked up at the sound and took a bite of food. He asked, "Are you eating so fast?" I don't see you carrying much food. ”
"Well, maybe I've been staying outdoors today, it's too hot, and my appetite isn't very good." Croriz explained with an awkward nod.
"Hehe, I guess I'm not used to eating with me." Kant teased with a smile.
Croritz smiled and shook his head.
"I knew that I would have eaten with the soldiers in the lobby on the first floor, so maybe it wouldn't have been so embarrassing." Kant said as he scooped the soup into his bowl.
"No, no, it's better to follow the lord's habits." Croriz hurriedly denied.
Kant smiled and slowly drank the soup from the bowl.
When the soup bowl is bottomed out, take off the napkin and wipe your mouth. Said to Croiz: "I'm done eating too." Let's go to the study and talk. ”
The two walked from the second floor to the study of the suite on the third floor.
Kant didn't usually use this room much, and the bookshelves were empty.
The fence outside the window contains some flowers and plants with a faint fragrance.
Kant walked over to a chair and sat down, motioning for Croretz to take a seat.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Kant spoke: "Tomorrow, is there any arrangement?" ”
"I read your annotation on the attachment of the manuscript paper, lord, maybe I can go to Half Moon Lake tomorrow to have a look. It was the only freshwater source in the Durandel. Croretz thought for a moment and said.
"Freshwater resources, well, the problem there is also related to the development of the city." Kant said.
"Although it is true that the groundwater resources of Half Moon Lake are relatively rich, if you want to build an ironworks in Durendel, it is still a little tight." Krowriz said.
"If you want to build an ironworks in Durandal, the current conditions may not be sufficient." Kant commented.
"But if the coal mining industry here wants to develop, it must become an industrial chain." Krollez followed up on Kant's words.
"It's a bit of a dilemma." Kant said.
If you want to divert water from the coast thousands of kilometers from here, it will take a lot of work.
After all, there are a series of uncertainties in the topography, the rock formations on the road, and the processing of seawater.
Krollez also probably guessed what Kant was thinking.
He had also thought about bringing in water from other places, but after digging deeper, he found that the process was not so simple.
Thinking of this, Crorez also showed a distressed expression.
"There is no need to rush the matter of iron-making at this time. Wait for more information to be obtained before making decent conclusions. Kant concluded.
"Hmm." Croritz was also clueless, nodding in response.
"Do you think it's a good time to let the people of Dehrim move over now?" Kant asked.
Croretz thought for a moment: "Now, the population that Durandal can carry does meet a standard. However, the urban infrastructure is still in the construction stage, and it is estimated that there will be a shortage of demand for the population to move in at this time. ”
"Recently, the number of people who have petitioned me to move to Durandle has increased. Most of them were relatives of the soldiers who died. I really don't know what words to use to answer them. After hearing this, Kant was silent for a while, and sighed softly.
