The next morning, after Kant's breakfast.

A familiar carriage stopped in front of the B&B, and Kant walked out the door to see Adunis in plain clothes sitting in the groom's place.

When Adunis saw Kant, he immediately stepped out of the carriage and saluted, "Good morning, lord." ”

"Why did you come here alone in a carriage? What about Croiz," Kant asked.

"Captain Croretz's leg was accidentally injured. The freshwater lake is closer to the coal mine you went to the day before, so I'll lead the way for you, lord. Adunis replied.

"Then I am the only one who can sit in your carriage." Kant smiled and waved his hand, dismissing the guards who were following him: "But this is also good, just dress light." ”

Adunis nodded, and helped Kant into the carriage.

Along the way, Adunis accosted Kant from time to time in the carriage, asking about the current situation of Bandak and the details of the battle on the Elven border. He hadn't been back to De Cherim for three months, and a lot of the news had been heard in spite of it. I don't know much about what's going on in Dehrim either.

"Want to go back?" Kant asked.

"I want to go back after being here for less than a month. But now that it's been the fourth month, I don't think much about it. Adunis replied.

"Previously, because of the war, the main city did not have enough manpower, and did not gather the troops to replace you. In fact, it is long overdue for you to go back to rest and rest. Kant said, "You still have a family in Deherim, right?" ”

"Yes, I have a wife and children, and my wife will send me letters every half month. The child is still young, so I guess I don't know why I left. "Actually, it's not hard here," said Adunis. I'd rather have my family come here than go back. ”

"Dehrem has a ban on leaving the city, and this matter has to be frustrated." Kant said.

The wind and sand are getting stronger and stronger, and even if the two are only less than a meter apart, they still need to shout loudly to hear what each other is saying.

"That's a shame." Adunis said.

If he could, he would love to stay here with his family for a long time. However, his wife and children at home should not be willing. After all, the hustle and bustle of Dehrim always looks attractive.

The two of them walked the road chatting and chatting all the way, and by the time they reached the side of Half Moon Lake, the wind gradually became lighter.

So Kant was able to stand by the lake and take a closer look at the half-moon lake.

The lake is turquoise blue and is located between two sand dunes. As the field of vision expanded, Kant mentally estimated that this freshwater lake was about a dozen square kilometers.

It's really rare.

The undead who lived here before probably didn't care much about the water source like the elves.

It has naturally grown to the size it is today.

The more Kant thought about it, the more he felt that this former city of the dead was a treasure.

Kant crouched down and probed the shore of the lake. The water of the lake is cool and cool, and when it is close to the water, there seems to be a fresh breeze blowing.

"Lord." Adunis spoke out and recalled Kant, who was born.

Kant stood up, but his body was in a trance.

"Be careful!" Adunis hurriedly stepped forward to help Kant.

"I'm sorry, but my health seems to have gotten a little worse lately." Kant stood still, then smiled at Adunis.

"Lord, take care of your body." Yadonis worried.

Kant nodded, taking his kindness. You turned sideways to look at the lake: "This lake is really beautiful, more precious than an oasis in the desert." Durandle is indeed blessed to have such resources at his disposal. ”

"In a few months, the rain season in the Narun Desert will come again." Adunis said.

"Before the rains come, reservoirs have to be built to store water." After visiting the field here, Kant came to this conclusion in his mind.

"In this case, it is true, and I have negligently forgotten this on the manuscript paper I planned before. I'm really sorry, lord. Thinking of this, Adunis apologized to Kant.

"Don't worry, you can't keep up with this matter with the manpower in your city." Kant responded: "After two days here, I felt that it was more complicated than I thought it would be to make Durandal a typical industrial city. ”

So far, at least, there are several problems that require significant manpower to solve.

I really want to solve all these things before the founding of the country. Kant said silently in his heart.

On the way back, Adunis drove the carriage much slower than he had been.

The first is that the winds in the desert have stopped now, and the second is that considering Kant's physical condition, he does not want to cause him discomfort because of his hurry.

Kant sat in the carriage for a while, feeling a little out of breath when he stayed inside.

So he came out and sat down next to the coachman's seat.

Gazing at the desert landscape.

As a result, a group of wandering gnolls were spotted on the distant horizon.

Kant couldn't help frowning, thinking about asking Adunis, "Didn't the soldiers defending the city find anything?" ”

"It's quite common for other races to wander out like this. However, they didn't seem to dare to approach Durandel, not knowing if they were afraid of the undead or the soldiers under the command of Bandak. Adunis replied.

Adunis led his soldiers to patrol the city and its borders.

So far, there has not been a single attack from these wandering races.

Kant heard what Adunis said and nodded: "But you still have to pay attention to the fact that the security tower has not yet been fully built. The only people who defend the city are the soldiers who are stationed there. ”

"Yes!" Adunis replied loudly.

By the time Kant looked in the direction he had just looked again, the group of gnolls had disappeared without a trace.

In the evening, Adunis' carriage drove outside the gate of the B&B.

After bidding farewell to Kant, Adunis continued to drive the carriage to the barracks, where he still had a large number of military affairs to be resolved.

After dinner, Kant returned to his room.

I began to write down my impressions in the last few days.

He drew a diagram of the resource relationship in a circle formation on the manuscript paper, thinking about how to use the resources in his hand to arrange all this about Durandal after returning to Decherim.

After all, the investment required for each project is interconnected.

It is important to distinguish the steps in order to allocate resources appropriately.

Until late at night, Kant was still sitting at his desk, strategizing for the future of Durandel. A stack of discarded manuscript paper was piled up next to his elbow.
