Chapter 676. The establishment of Durandell
Kant got up early the next morning, washed up, and let people lead the way to the construction site.
A large number of uniformed army workers gathered in the workshop, presumably preparing to assemble.
Kant and his attendants walked to the end of the line and stood still, and many of the workers around them noticed their sumptuous costumes and looked sideways.
But no one knew that Kant was the lord of Dehrem, and the workers were just talking to each other and guessing the identities of the two men. He didn't come forward to talk.
The daily assembly would take place after breakfast, and the leader of the repair unit, Crowez, would speak on behalf of him. The garrison led by Adunis will also be present.
As soon as Adunis entered the arena with Kant, his eyes were fixed on the two of them.
It's just that I remembered what Kant said before, that he didn't want the workers to notice his lordship. He did not come forward to greet him.
When the rally was over, the workers received their tasks, went to find the team on their own, and dispersed.
Adunis summoned Crowez to join him, walked up to Kant, bowed his head and saluted, "Hello lord." ”
"Hmm." Kant glanced at the two of them, nodded, and then said to Croiz, "I'm bothering you this time." ”
"It's an honor for the lord to come here to survey our repaired troops, and they won't be troubled." Croritz shook his head and said hurriedly.
"Huh." Kant smiled, remembering that today was the first time he had met Croretz, so he didn't say anything more.
"What about General Adunis? Is there anything to report? Kant turned to Adunis and asked.
"Hmm. Yesterday the lord asked us to consult the name of the city internally. I and the other soldiers came up with one and wanted the lord to hear about it. Adunis said embarrassedly.
"So fast?" Kant raised his eyebrows: "Then I heard you, what name do you want to choose?" ”
"Durandle." Adunis spoke, then cast a cautious inquiring glance at Kant.
Kant nodded, he had heard this, Durandal, it means eternal, and the former paladin, Roland's sword, is also called this name.
"Sure enough, it's a name that someone from a military background came up with." Kant affirmed: "It's good, it's in line with the city." If I don't think so, I'll use this. ”
"Thank you, lord." Yadonis thanked.
"You count this as an urgent report to De Herim, and the craftsmen over there in the main city will create a suitable plaque for Durandel." Kant instructed.
"Roger." Adunis agreed, and then took his leave and left.
"Durandle is such a good name." Crowez on the side spoke, "This city will also become a sharp sword that Decherim is counting on." ”
"I hope so." Kant said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect Captain Croretz to read such a long-standing heroic poem. ”
"I didn't want it, but I just saw that some soldiers liked it very much, so I whispered and followed it to understand something." Hearing Kant's ridicule, Croretz panicked.
"Well, I also read the Song of Roland a long time ago, and the lines in the poem are indeed easy to stir up the blood in everyone's hearts. Captain Croretz learned something very good. Kant continued.
"Thank you, lord, for the compliment." Croritz replied embarrassedly.
"Where are we supposed to go today?" Getting back to business, Kant asked.
"I want to take the Lord to the coal mines on the outskirts of the city. It hadn't been exploited by the undead before. Croretz replied.
"Hmm." Kant nodded and agreed.
After a while, Croretz's men brought in the carriage and horses.
"Don't you have to ride a camel?" Kant said strangely, speaking of the suburbs, the distance should still be quite far. He roughly recalled the distance he had seen on the manuscript paper last night between the center of the city and the boundary marked with the coal mine.
"The workers of the army have built a shortcut road in the city, and if you take that road, the distance will be reduced considerably, and the road will be very flat." Krowez explained in detail.
When Kant heard this, he was relieved to board the carriage.
He was accompanied by personal guards.
The space in the carriage is relatively spacious, and the seat cushions are covered with silky soft brocade. It cushions the bumps caused by the road surface to the greatest extent.
The city of the dead was originally relatively large, and Croriz rode a horse to lead the way to the coal mining areas of the western suburbs.
After about half an hour, Kant sat in the carriage and looked out of the window railing, and the building had become sparse. The surrounding scenery has turned into a loess desert, and the temperature inside the carriage is rising.
After a few more moments, the carriage stopped.
"Arrived?" Kant questioned in his heart.
The groom, who was in charge of driving the horse, lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Kant, "My lord, we have arrived at our destination. Please get off the bus. ”
Kant nodded, and after straightening his clothes. He stepped down the steps and got out of the carriage.
Seeing Croriz say to him, "Lord, in front of you is the construction site of the coal mine. ”
Kant's gaze went beyond Croretz to the newly built workers' quarters in the distance.
"Hmm." Kant continued to look around and replied, "Then let's go to the scene now." ”
The group set off towards the coal mining field.
"What we found this time was an open-pit coal mine, so it didn't take much time to prepare for the construction. So far, the amount of coarse coal stored in the factory has reached dozens of tons. Crowretz introduced to Kant as he walked.
"Is coal mining still being done by hand?" Kant asked.
"Yes, but after applying for assistance from the main city of Dehrim, the workers have begun to learn how to mine coal using portable machines." Croretz replied.
Kant glanced at the staff dormitory alone in the desert, and then said: "This kind of working environment is still too harsh, have any employees reported to you what the workers have raised?" ”
"Not yet." Croretz thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Then I'll give you a task to do a detailed survey of the workers in the last week. See if they want to make some requests, and after you check them, you can summarize the copy and report it to me. Kant arranged.
"Roger." Croriz nodded, reminding the side to quickly record it in words.
Kant gasped and looked up at the sun hanging in the middle of the sky, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I have been sitting in the palace for the past six months, and I haven't done any exercise at all, and now my physical fitness has indeed declined.
