Lord of the Oasis Chapter 678: .Leisure on weekdays
After Kant returned to his room, he fell on the bed.
I slept until the next morning.
Because I didn't make an appointment with Crorez in advance, I didn't have any plans for today.
After a good night's rest, Kant went out alone with full energy.
Not far from the B&B building is the old palace of the Land of the Dead.
Although it was torn down into ruins, Kant still wanted to take a look inside.
Stepping into the gate of the palace, there are many workers who are busy with their work, and did not notice Kant who was shuttled among them.
Kant raised his head and looked around. The stone roof of the palace had been removed by the workers of the repair team. Because the entire inner wall of the palace was connected together, when the roof was destroyed, some parts of the roof were damaged. The walls also collapsed a lot.
Kant walked into the promenade where the original fighting troops had walked, and arrived at the battlefield of the melee.
The altar in the center of the room has also been demolished, but the open fire platform has been preserved. It seems that the workers will also be working here at night.
The ground composed of stone bricks with the emblem of the Land of the Dead was smashed, exposing the underground soil.
Some soils are darker in color and feel like blood seeps into the ground.
Kant sighed in his heart and prayed silently for the fallen soldiers. He left the room.
Kant stopped at the door leading to the promenade, hesitating whether to go to the dungeon and infirmary that Bandak mentioned earlier.
After much deliberation, I gave up.
I walked out of the palace immediately.
Kant continued to wander the streets at random, scanning the sides of the street.
The streets are filled with workers who are in charge of delivery, which is quite lively.
Kant followed the flow of people like this, walking the streets to spend the most relaxing time he has ever had.
I didn't return to the B&B until before dinner time.
Meeting Kloriz who came to find him.
"Hello, Lord," Kloriz greeted.
"Well." Kant nodded and sat down in a chair in the hall to rest: "When did you come here?"
Before going out, I received news from the soldier that Crorez had come to look for him while he was resting. Then someone sent a message to Crorez: meet at the guesthouse building at dusk.
I didn't expect Kloriz to arrive so early.
"I've been here for a while, and you'll be here, Lord," said Crorez.
"Then let's stay and have dinner together. We'll talk about it after dinner is over," Kant suggested.
Crowleys nodded slightly surprised: "Thank you Lord for the invitation."
As dinnertime approaches, more people come and go in the hall and kitchen.
Some of the assistants who work for the cooks also help deliver meals to the shift workers on the construction site.
Kant took Crorez to the box in the wing on the second floor and sat down, followed by soldiers who continued to bring prepared meals from the back kitchen.
This meal was very restrained. Kant had the habit of not eating or sleeping, so after taking up his rice bowl, he didn't say a word.
And Crorez usually dine with the noisy workers in the barracks, but he was not used to this slightly deserted atmosphere.
After a few mouthfuls, he put down the tableware. Said to Kant who was sitting opposite: "I'm done eating, Lord, take it easy."
Kant raised his head and chewed his next bite. He opened his mouth and asked, "Are you eating so fast? I don't see you carrying much food."
"Well, maybe it's because I've been outdoors today, the weather is too hot, and my appetite is not very good." Crorez explained with a nod of embarrassment.
"Hehe, I'm probably not used to eating with me." Kant teased with a smile.
Crowleys shook his head with a smile.
"I knew that I would eat with the soldiers in the lobby on the first floor, so maybe it wouldn't be so embarrassing." Kant said while scooping soup into his bowl.
"No, no, it's better to follow the lord's habit." Crorez hurriedly denied.
Kant smiled and slowly drank the soup from the bowl.
Wait until the soup bowl bottoms out, then remove the napkin and wipe my mouth. To Crorez: "I'm done too. Let's go to the study and talk."
The two walked from the second floor to the study room of the suite on the third floor.
Kant doesn't usually use this room, and the bookshelves are empty.
The fence outside the window contains some flowers and plants with a relatively weak fragrance.
Kant walked over to a chair and sat down, also motioning to Crorez to sit down.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Kant said, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
“I read your note, Lord, on the attachment to the manuscript paper. Maybe you can go to Half Moon Lake tomorrow to see it. That is Durandal’s only freshwater resource.” Crorez thought for a while and said.
"Freshwater resources, um, the problem there is also related to the development of the city," Kant said.
"Although the groundwater resources of Banyue Lake are indeed rich, if you want to build an iron smelting plant in Durandal, it is still a little tight." Crorez said.
"If you want to build an ironworks in Durandal, the current conditions may not be enough." Kant commented.
"But if the coal mining industry here wants to develop, it must form an industrial chain." Crorez continued Kant's words.
"It's really a bit of a dilemma," Kant said.
It would take a lot of work to divert water from the coast thousands of kilometers away.
After all, there are a series of uncertain factors in the terrain, etc., the rock formations passing by, and the processing of seawater.
Cloretz also probably guessed what Kant was thinking~IndoMTL.com~ He also thought about transferring water from other places before, but after a further in-depth understanding: he found that the process was not so Simple.
Thinking of this, Klorez also showed a distressed expression.
"There is no need to rush about ironmaking at this time. After more information is mastered, a decent conclusion can be made." Kant finally said.
"Yeah." Klorez had no idea and nodded in response.
"Do you think it would be a good time for the people of Dehrim to relocate now?" Kant asked.
Crowleys thought about it carefully: "For now, the population that Durandal can carry has indeed reached a standard. However, the urban infrastructure is still in the construction stage, and it is estimated that the population will be in short supply at this time. Well."
"The number of people who have petitioned me to move to Durandal has increased recently. Most of them are relatives of fallen soldiers. I really don't know how to answer them." Kant heard this sentence, After a while of silence, he sighed softly.
