My players are so fierce

Chapter 1212 1210. The old drunkard’s big business!

The tense atmosphere was resolved by Fulier's tough but wise methods. Under the hostile gaze of a group of heavily armed Songhai people, Prince Feilosil followed Murphy, Tris and others back to Fulier. The place Lil prepared for them.

It was a palace that had not been destroyed in the previous chaos invasion. The people of Songhai specially repaired it to entertain the most noble person in their eyes, who was also the master of the Songhai people.

When Murphy set foot in the palace, he immediately noticed that the shield generators decorated as inconspicuous items around the palace were all online. He turned around and asked:

"So during my absence, has the city defense matrix of the Ptolemaic City been restarted?"

"Thanks to your blessing, and with the cooperation of the wise men of the foreigners and the mechanics of our Songhai people, the matrix of the royal city was successfully activated four days ago."

Speaking of this matter, Her Majesty Fulier also blushed, and she explained:

"Still according to the previous plan, we did not directly adopt the standard answer left by the Creator, but made our own modifications and attempts on top of it. Although the control program written by our mechanics and foreign wise men has not yet been It can activate the city matrix to more than 70% strength, but I think this is an extremely perfect start.

This is the first time that the Songhai people have truly harnessed the sacred relics left by the Creator on their own.

On the day when the matrix is ​​illuminated, we Songhai people can finally raise our heads proudly under the light of the Creator and truly declare our progress and achievements to all those who pay attention to us.

I promise you, Lord Murphy!

When you live here, you will no longer have the disgraceful appearance of being in embarrassment due to a sudden attack. Not only the Ptolemaic City, but also the city matrix of the Port of Origin and the Holy City of the Moon is currently being restarted. "

Speaking of this, Fulier paused. She held her Pharaoh's scepter decorated with two golden snakes and whispered to Murphy:

"There is also a small city defense matrix in the city of Pilig, which is a relic obtained by Pilig Architecture when it built the city on top of the ruins of the Creator.

Thirty-three pilgrim families have similar things in their main cities, but now there are only twenty-five pilgrim families left. The defense matrices of those expelled families will be given to our friendly neighbors in the form of gifts. .

My brother, Prince Khufu, will personally escort the matrix system to Transia after my enthronement ceremony is completed. He will thank the Transians for their help in the counter-insurgency war of the Songhai Empire, and he will also go to the place left by the Creator. The swamp restricted area hatched the egg left by the sunworm. "

"But the activation of the city defense matrix requires direct use of the energy of the Creation Engine."

Murphy blinked. He understood Fulier's plan and said:

"You mean to use this method to promote the supreme power of the Creation Engine?"

"Yes!"

Fulier did not hide her plan in front of Murphy, she said:

“This is the advice that Archon Miriam gave me after learning about the current situation.

There is no doubt that a city matrix can protect the main cities of a certain country and force from outside interference in the most dangerous situations. Its effect is much better than the various psychic defense barriers that are currently mainstream on the continent.

Kings and leaders will seriously consider whether to accept it. Once they accept the defense matrix system, there will be no reason to refuse the repair and connection of the energy network channels that extend from the underground to various regions of the continent by the Creation Engine.

Based on my superficial understanding of the Creator’s plan for the world’s blueprint, I believe that only by introducing the energy of the Creation Engine into various regions of the continent can the facilities left behind by the Creator to protect the world be truly used and controlled in the most perfect way.

What do you think? "

"I have no reason to object to this perfect suggestion, Your Majesty Fulier."

Murphy nodded and said:

"But if you want the kings to accept the gift from the Creator, you must first let them see the power that these relics from the previous era can exert in this era. My idea is that it is better to get along with the Songhai Empire across the sea first. We hope to build a similar city defense matrix in the halfling city of Port Shardor as an open area on the Old World to convince the leaders of the good will of the Songhai people and the Creator based on what they have seen and heard.”

"This is a wonderful showcase of the Creator's power, Lord Murphy."

Fulier smiled, but then the conversation changed and she looked at General Philosil sitting in front of her. She narrowed her eyes and said:

"The Elven Kingdom is only separated from the Songhai Empire by the Strait of Castile. Really speaking, the Kingdom of Castile is the neighboring country of the Songhai people. If the display can be completed with the elves who are known for their conservatism, I think Even the most stubborn leaders can detect the Songhay people's unreserved orderly goodwill.

And peace.

Peace between the two countries can also be achieved through this more pragmatic means than all agreements and negotiations. We are not sending a bomb that will explode at any time to the elves, we are just sending a heavy shield that allows them to protect themselves. "

"This is not something I can decide, Your Majesty Fulier."

Prince Philosil said seriously:

"I am just the envoy of His Majesty Ivelios and His Majesty Sheelagui. The two leaders of the Elf Kingdom will attend your enthronement ceremony. At that time, you can directly discuss with them the matter of assisting the defense matrix.

I came here to explain to you the true cause of the tragedy that happened between the Songhai people and the elves three hundred years ago, so as to explain that both of our countries were victims of the conspiracy of the mystic scholars.

There is no doubt that the establishment of the Tongtian Bridge could have been the beginning of exchanges between the two countries, but it became the beginning of war because of the black hand hidden in history.

We have been hostile to each other for three hundred years in guided hatred. It is time for the bravest and wisest leaders on both sides to take a step forward and end this stupid confrontation. "

"Very good, I am also interested in the truth of three hundred years ago out of personal curiosity."

Furier glanced at Murphy. Under the other's encouraging gaze, the Pharaoh Queen who was about to ascend the throne pulled out a chair and sat opposite Prince Philosir. She said:

"Sir, please tell me, I am all ears. ”

Transia, Scarlet Castle, Stonemason Brotherhood Headquarters.

Today is another busy day.

Local stonemasons who learned from architects from other worlds, with their apprentices, rushed back and forth in this seven-story building, submitting their own construction plans to different departments, or getting stamps from other departments after approval to go through the process.

Because of the "Transia Development", various construction plans have been submitted to the Stonemason Brotherhood Headquarters for approval almost every day in the past two months.

Most of them are a series of projects led by Transia officials, including the planning of more administrative villages, drawings of water diversion from the Cadman River for irrigation systems, and the establishment of offices in different regions for the increasingly large departments. And do some business construction work for various business teams active in Transia.

For example, Boss Huo, the most famous tycoon in Transia, has recently started to get involved in "real estate".

His "Treasure Bay Consortium" has acquired several plots of land near Scarlet Castle to build more residential areas to meet the needs of renting, working or settling in Scarlet Castle for various people who continue to flock to Scarlet Castle to make a living.

With Transia's current business system and people's dry wallets, there is no talk of commercial housing, so Boss Huo's real estate business, at least in Transia, is only in the field of low-rent housing and civil servant housing allocation projects.

But old Huo is very ambitious.

He has even visited North Wind Castle and Bourbon Castle. He has made an investigation in the city. He thinks that there might be some profit in the real estate industry in those famous cities on the continent. If not, he can also take the opportunity to participate in a series of planned infrastructure projects of the local government. Unfortunately, so far, Lao Huo's attempts in this regard have not made any breakthroughs.

On the one hand, the medieval financial system of the Transian world does not allow outsiders to intervene in such highly profitable infrastructure projects locally. The local protectionism of this ghost era is simply like a flood and a beast.

On the other hand, Boss Huo is currently just playing around, and most of his energy is drawn to another thing.

In short, the Brotherhood of Stonemasons is very busy. Not only the plasterers and brick movers, but also the foreign architects such as Samoyelia are under the command of Lao Chen. Every day, they are everywhere. When inspecting the construction site or presiding over the plastering, even the "external experts" of the Stonemason Brotherhood were forced to join the "involution" system set up by this group of foreigners.

And Lord Ilich Um Zhanxin, who had long become an "old friend of the Transians", was one of the biggest victims of this system.

As an outstanding architect of the Temple of Gaia, Old Um's status did not originally involve in specific construction work. As an old dwarf who had already walked two-thirds of his life, he now just had to enjoy the second half of his life. Unfortunately, he was tempted by the Transians with Feitian wine, and was forced to stay in the Stonemason Brotherhood as the "honorary president" because of "technical exchange", and then he was tied here.

"Zhao! What the hell is this plan! Did you feed your brains to dogs when you made the design drawings? Look at these exaggerated parameters and specifications, you are going to build a factory! Not to build a palace for the king!

Unqualified!

Sent back for redesign. "

In the highest office of the seventh-floor headquarters of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons, Old Um, wearing an architect's robe, sat at the desk and fiercely threw a set of plans in front of him, scaring several human stonemasons in front of him. They quickly picked up the plans and ran out.

Seeing the panic of those guys, Old Um sneered.

What kind of scene has this old dwarf not seen in his life?

Just by looking at the various exaggerated parameters on the drawings, he knew that there was something wrong with these stonemasons!

This must be an attempt to use exaggerated designs to deceive more people. Fees, or simply reached a private deal with the building materials supplier, intending to make a fortune from the plan to build the factory area in Under Armour Hills.

"Beep"

Old Wum activated a strange-shaped computing orb device fixed next to the table with a gloomy face. After it made a beeping sound, the old dwarf took a cigar that he had not finished smoking yesterday from the drawer and lit it, while saying to the orb communication device:

"Please help me connect to the Economic Crime Division of the Internal Affairs Department of the Shadow Intelligence Bureau. I suspect that an internal corruption case has been discovered here."

"Okay, President Wum, please wait."

The sweet voice of the "operator" sister came from the orb, and after several transfers, the dedicated communication line of Old Um was transferred to the Shadow Intelligence Bureau. After learning the specific information, the bureau promised to immediately send employees to investigate and thanked Mr. Um for his active report.

This excellent efficiency made the old dwarf feel better, but when he saw the dozen or so construction plans on his desk, he had a headache again.

Old Um had served in similar positions in the human kingdom before, but even at the busiest time, he was considered busy if he could approve three infrastructure projects a week. As a result, the workload every day is more than the past month.

To be honest, the old dwarf felt that he was burning his life to work for the construction of Transia.

However, it turned out that the old dwarf used to approve three plans a week not because of the limit of work, but purely because the construction industry in this old continent was full of amateurs and lazy people. After the Stonemason Brotherhood adopted a more efficient approval system and work system, Old Um also quickly adapted to this set of work mode that treated people as animals.

His potential is beyond his imagination.

As an old dwarf who has worked as an architect all his life, Wum can clearly understand how exaggerated the construction progress of Transia after the Black Disaster is just from these submitted plans.

The workers and leaders of this ghost place are almost building their hometown at a speed five or even ten times faster than other regions. Just from the efficiency of work, they are enough to crush other forces on the continent.

Of course, they can do so well not only because of the professional planning and governance system brought by foreigners, but also because Transia itself has a poor foundation. Years of war have left this land devastated, and a blank sheet of paper is better for painting.

"But Transia is so small, and its development potential is always limited."

Leaning on the chair in the office, Old Um thought while blowing smoke rings:

"It's a pity that the labor resources on this land have been tapped to the extreme by the Scarlet Castle Administration. The rest can only be left to time.

Governor Murphy and Archon Miriam are ambitious, but they can't get things done without sufficient manpower. However, it is said that they are preparing to introduce a large number of jackals from the Creation Guard faction to fill the labor gap.

Tsk tsk, I don't know if the Transians can accept those former invaders as their colleagues

Hmm?"

Just when the old dwarf was about to pour himself a few glasses of wine to reward himself for being busy today, he suddenly heard a knocking sound from outside the window, which startled Old Um.

I am on the seventh floor!

This is already nearly 30 meters high. What kind of ghost can knock on my window in this situation?

When the quick-reacting old Um turned around, he already had an exquisite large-caliber revolver in his hand, but behind him, Lord Murphy's blood-eating vulture Ravno had already passed through the glass window with the advantage of his spirit body and landed on old Um's desk.

The old dwarf noticed that there was a letter tied to the vulture's leg.

This made him raise his eyebrows.

Wow!

The fact that Governor Murphy's pet personally delivered the letter meant that something big was going to happen. The old dwarf, who was old and only wanted to watch the fun, immediately became interested. He put the wine in his hand aside, rubbed his hands, stepped forward to open the letter, and then took a look at the signature:

"Designer and builder of the Tongtian Bridge, great Gaia Temple Architect, Second Honorary President of the Stonemason Brotherhood, His Excellency Ilich Wum Zhanxin!"

"Huh? Is this for me?"

The old dwarf's eyes widened, but Ravno was too lazy to answer. After delivering the letter, it turned around and accelerated through the wall, disappearing into the unique sky of Transia, leaving the old dwarf alone in the wind.

"Damn! Damn bird! As arrogant as your vampire master!"

Old Wum cursed, then opened the letter and glanced at it.

He was holding the wine glass in one hand and was a little careless, but when he saw the content of the letter, he stood up suddenly as if struck by lightning, and the glass in his hand fell to the ground, spilling the mellow wine all over the carpet.

But the dwarf didn't care at all.

He stared at the letter in front of him. Governor Murphy's elegant handwriting invited him to go to Ptolemy City, the capital of the Songhai Empire, to attend the coronation ceremony of Queen Fulier, and discuss the plan to repair the Tongtian Bridge with the Queen Pharaoh and the Elf King.

Tongtian Bridge!

That's the Tongtian Bridge!

That was the most proud and regretful design of Old Um as an architect in his life. At the invitation of Bom I, he hoped that the bridge he designed could become the beginning of the friendship between the two great countries, but in the end he witnessed the war between the two countries that almost sparked a war.

That incident severely hit Old Um's will and pride as an architect, and he has never recovered since then.

He should have achieved greater things, but he could only stop here because of the mutual hostility of mortals.

But now Governor Murphy gave him a chance, a chance to repair the bridge he blew up with his own hands, a chance to complete the most regrettable thing in his life with his own hands.

"Zhao!"

Old Wum almost went crazy at this moment.

He yelled and grabbed the bottle of wine and took a few gulps. Then he opened the closet and grabbed a few clothes at random. He took his beloved measuring stick in his hand, left a letter to Old Chen, and rushed out on the spot with the Earth Walking Technique.

When the secretary of the Stonemason Brotherhood found that Wumu had "left", Professor Chen, who got the news, rushed over as soon as possible but only saw the letter written in the flamboyant dog-crawling Chinese characters left by Old Wumu on the desk:

"Damn Old Chen! Curse your way of working that treats people like animals! I won't be your ox and horse anymore. I'm going to build a bridge!

Hahahaha, Tongtian Bridge!

My beloved place, my heartbroken place, my dream place, my soul place!

I'm here again!"
