Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 624: The best raw material
Chapter 585 The best raw material
Somewhere underground in the Azure Fort.
Gall held the torch and followed his eldest brother all the way down the stone ladder. The facilities here are not known when they were built, but they are obviously quite a long time ago. Both the walls and the ground are covered with layers of moss, and sewage flows on the ground, giving out a rotten and unpleasant smell.
"Brother...Where are we going? The underground channel is really nothing to look at, right."
Listening to the empty dripping sound and the occasional one or two weird calls, Gore couldn't help whispering.
Now all the rebelling workers have fallen into their hands, and the next time should be a happy "payback" time. He really doesn't want to play exploration games in the underground waterway with his eldest brother.
What's more, these intricate waterways are not a beautiful place. There are often rumors in the city that there are monsters hidden underground. Every year, several scavengers are looted by monsters. The life and death are unknown. Gore really doesn’t understand why they are. To pull him here.
"The Blue Fort is a city built by the sea, so the drainage project will be extraordinarily huge. And this location we are in is the center of the city's canal, also known as the underground well lake." Philip replied. , "All the rain that falls into the city will gather here. When the storm on the sea sweeps the Azure Fort, it can also be driven by the wizard to accelerate the drainage of water."
"Okay..." Gore moved the torch to his feet, and he could indeed see a deep well beside the stone steps, and the sound of water flowed below, but he didn't know how deep it was. Moreover, with the light of a torch alone, it is impossible to even see the opposite brick wall of the well, which is enough to show that the size of the well is wide enough. "But what does this have to do with us?"
"Be patient, Gore." Philip said calmly, "Guess how much manpower is needed to build such a drainage facility?"
"Uh...a thousand?"
"A total of 30,000 people have been built for about five years. They are all slaves, half-beasts, criminals, prisoners of war...and many of them are elves. When the decision to build a new port is between the nobles and the big merchants After reaching a consensus, they were transported here by carts." The steward seemed to be telling an interesting story. "The designer was the famous O. Henry. He presided over the construction of Port Sun and Flying Castle, so he was building When he was in the Blue Castle, Mr. Henry had more experience and directly used a new building material."
"What material?" Gore said patiently.
"The human body."
Hearing Philip's answer, he shivered suddenly.
"You, what are you talking about..."
"Workers after death cannot be littered, otherwise it will easily cause an epidemic. Throwing into the sea seems simple, but the number of tens of thousands is another matter." Philip put down his lantern and began to knock on the wall with a bang. Reverberating in the well, as if the footsteps of certain beasts, "The human body is rich in grease, which is very suitable for bonding the soil under a sealed condition, and the bones can be buried for thousands of years without being damaged. It is the most stable support in the structure. It is by virtue of this. Based on experience, the construction speed of Azure Fort is much faster than other seaports."
Even Gore felt a nausea urge.
Using people to do building filling?
Can this also be considered a new technology?
He has heard of the name O. Henry, and it seems that he has received commendations from the king and the church because of his superb skills. His prestige and status are at the top, but the things he does are horrible than the devil of hell. In comparison, those things done by supervisors are simply pediatrics.
"Brother...Where did you hear these rumors?"
"Of course it is the Holy Palace. In addition, this is not a rumor, but Mr. Henry's personal statement." When the knocking sound changed, Philip put his finger in the crack of the brick and easily pulled out the stone bricks. After a while, the gray-brown soil inside was exposed on the wall of the well. "We chose to act in the Azure Fort, and it was fully considered. Although the body of the evil spirit can be composed of mud and wood, human remains are more suitable raw materials. This is the same as alchemy. We want to get the most perfect finished product, raw material. We should also pursue top-level products as much as possible."
Action? Demons?
Wrong...what the **** is he talking about?
Shouldn’t the manager of Baiguoyuan be the job of managing employees for the boss? Why did you get involved with demons?
Gore was waiting to open his mouth to ask, and suddenly the blood in his whole body congealed, and a chill rushed directly to the top of his head!
He saw that his finger seemed to be broken.
Under the flickering firelight, not only can you see dark red blood on Philip's fingers, but also a small white hard object!
But he himself didn't notice it, and he played with the mud, as if he could not feel the pain at all.
self... Is this dazzling?
Gore didn't dare to move the torch in his hand, he only dared to slowly approach the wall, put his hand behind his back, and buckle the brick seams like the other person.
At that moment, Gore got goose bumps all over his body.
Stone bricks are very firmly joined together, and they have not become fragile due to long years of age. He felt pain in his nails, and he couldn't go deep into the gap!
But Philip peeled them off the well wall like a pinch of tofu!
When did his eldest brother possess such supernatural power?
No...This question is not accurate...
Gol suddenly found that the man in front of him was a bit strange.
"Brother..." He couldn't help taking two steps back, "Do you remember when we...become brothers?"
"Twenty-two years ago, the North County Orphanage. Later, he was adopted by the unnamed chamber of commerce, learned the characters, and finally sold it to His Excellency Azie." Philip turned his head and looked at him, "Am I right?"
"But he never answered me like that..." Gao Er swallowed, "Because life in the orphanage is the last memory he wants to mention."
This person is definitely not the Philip he is familiar with!
"Oh? This is a point not mentioned in the intelligence." Philip didn't mean to refute, "Do you want to ask who I am next? I don't have a name, and I don't need a name—I have many Nicknames, deadman, betrayer, sorcerer, puppet finger... But honestly ~IndoMTL.com~ is not enough to satisfy me. I hope that after this drama, I can have a more suitable title."
Gore seemed to be in a nightmare.
What are you doing?
Why have you walked with him for so long and haven't noticed him until now?
When did he become Philip again?
Looking at the other party's hollow eyes, Gore made the most instinctive response-escape! The farther you escape, the better!
But the moment he turned around, a hand strangled his neck from behind.
Gore struggled desperately, trying to split the opponent's finger, but that hand was as firm as a pair of iron tongs, and couldn't pull it anyway.
He tried to beg for mercy, but there was no sound from his throat.
"Don't worry, it won't be painful for too long."
Philip raised him to the side of the well, then let go of his hand.
Gall screamed and fell to the bottom of the deep well.
After a while, there was the sound of gnawing.
