Chapter 900: Chapter 0897: Retainer Knights (First Update)
“A city shall be built here, nad Dragon Valley City, then a road from Fla City will be constructed, called Dragon Cinder Road. Another road from Dragon Valley City to Estuary City, it shall be known as Dragon River Road. Fla City must also build a road to Reed Marsh, to be called Reed Cinder Road, and a city needs to be established in Reed Marsh, nad Reed City!”
Liszt casually sketched on a map.
The Fla Island is essentially square in shape, albeit slightly tilted. The Holy Mountain, where the Moon Slayer Holy Tribe resides, is about at the island’s center. Slice the island diagonally and it can be divided into the northwest and southeast halves. The current range of activities for the Fla People is primarily concentrated in the southeast half.
The geographic center of the southeast half is approximately Whirlpool Mountain, making the city at the base of Whirlpool Mountain, Fla City, the transportation hub and central city of the southeast half.
Reed Cinder Road extends east from Fla City, crossing the two upper tributaries of Whirlpool River and stretching nearly to Reed City near Reed Marsh. As the guardian of Heart Reed Teleportation Formation, Reed City will inevitably beco a trading city. Eastward from Reed City lies the East Coast, where a suitable port can be found to build a harbor city.
Jade Salary Avenue goes from Fla City towards the northwest, reaching Jade Mountain, a spur of the Fla Mountain Range, and connecting the under-construction Jade City. In the future, a road could extend further northwest from Jade City, reaching the position of the Holy Mountain—Liszt intends to establish a city at this central point of the island.
Dragon Cinder Road is an extension southwest from Fla City, all the way to Dragon Pit Great Mine; Dragon Valley City will be the future mining center city.
Dragon River Road is an extension due south from Dragon Valley City, reaching Estuary City at the estuary of Whirlpool River. This city will be Fla Island’s sole port city at the current stage, responsible for communication between Tulip Island and Fla Island.
Essentially,
these four roads are the developnt veins of Fla Island at present, with all agricultural and industrial production revolving around these four roads.
The Heart Reed Teleportation Formation has already been activated, with knights and serfs pouring into Fla Island continuously; once they arrive in large numbers, it will be ti for the frenzied developnt of Fla Island.
“The construction of Dragon Cinder Road must be completed quickly, Emily. After it’s done, you imdiately lead the Mammoth Knight Brigade to build Reed Cinder Road, and finally, Dragon River Road.”
“Understood, Your Highness!”
Having delegated the road construction and city building affairs, Liszt habitually took on the role of a detached director; he rode on the Formless Dragon Bard, circling above the Dragon Pit Great Mine a few tis.
The mining area located in this valley is unimaginably vast, about 20,000 square kiloters in size.
To give a more vivid comparison, Liszt’s original ho, Coral Island, was about 10,000 square kiloters, roughly equivalent to the area of an ordinary prefecture-level city. And Dragon Pit Great Mine is about equivalent to two Coral Islands or two prefecture-level cities, with five types of minerals distributed within.
Of course, averaging the mining area for each type of mineral, it didn’t seem too large.
At present, it has been confird that the galena is deep in the valley with a small area; rcury ore is on the right side of the valley, also small in area; Black Heart Iron is on the left side of the valley, the largest in area; copper ore is in the hinterland of the valley, also not small; and the extent of the titanium ore at the entrance to the valley is yet undecided.
The exploration magicians from the Magic Association are working together with the knights to survey and strive to determine the accurate distribution of the miner areas, as well as to formulate a mining plan—as for the reserves of the mining areas, that’s difficult to calculate, but these are shallow layer minerals, making mining quite easy.
Unlike Earth, where many minerals are deep underground, in this world, tals and gemstones originate from dragons and are buried relatively close to the surface.
Perhaps there are deep layer minerals too—after all, no one has been able to explore and mine them.
“Once this mining area is exploited, it will support the resource consumption of the Fla Kingdom for decades. Add to that the Jade Mines of Jade Mountain, and there’s no need to worry about resources… Fla Island truly deserves the praise of being rich in land and resources,” Liszt rejoiced in his heart. “But I wonder if there are Elental Dragon bones buried under Dragon Pit Great Mine?”
This is a question worth exploring.
Mining isn’t an easy task, and to completely excavate this valley would take a considerable length of ti: “Unfortunately, even though my Eye of Magic has rged with a dragon, it still can’t peer into the underground to detect magic.” The Eye of Magic is already impressively effective, yet he still feels it’s not good enough.
…
Mind Island.
Knights were supervising the serfs in their construction work, with the chief architect being Mbappe Brokenstone, who was also the teacher of Liszt’s head architect Jomaya Bangtu—Jomaya once almost t his death for sleeping with Mbappe’s daughter-in-law and was ultimately bailed out by Liszt.
Mbappe had long served as an architect for the Tulip Family. With Mind Island in urgent need of developnt, Liszt hired him to oversee the construction of the island’s castle.
Perhaps Mbappe harbored a grudge against Liszt for protecting Jomaya,
but he dared not show any signs of it and still worked diligently, especially with the knights from Black Horse Island supervising. No one dared to skimp on the work.
“The cent mixing is not up to standard, we must use ample amounts of cent here!” he shouted, commanding with a loud voice.
The construction craftsn imdiately brought over another wheelbarrow of cent, pouring it onto the shallow tidal flats of Mind Island. The use of high-quality volcanic or artificial cent had beco another major infrastructure tool in Liszt’s hands. Once set, the cent was harder than rock.
Woo-woo-woo!
Suddenly, the sound of a horn resounded, and a fleet with the Red Tulip Flag slowly approached the hastily constructed dock of Mind Island.
A huge, pitch-black bird circled above the fleet.
The bird descended straight to the construction site where Mbappe and the others were working, and from the back of the bird, a knight clad in silver-white armor leaped down. The supervising knights imdiately drew near to greet him, “Lord Marquis!”
“Just carry on with your work, I have co to take a look,” the visitor was none other than Liszt’s father, the Obsidian Albatross Knight, Marquis Li Weiliam of Bull Tail.
“Lord Landlord,” Mbappe hurried over to greet him as well.
Li Weiliam smiled and said, “Mbappé, it must be hard working on the island.”
“It is Mbappe’s honor to serve Prince Dragon Knight; it’s not hard at all,” Mbappe quickly responded. Despite being a renowned Master Architect, in the eyes of the nobility he was not much different from a commoner, and skill could not bridge the vast gulf of class status.
“Good, keep up the good work,” Li Weiliam said contentedly with a slight raise of his hand. Although Mind Island was not his territory but his son’s, he shared the sa sense of ownership, “Build the Fortress of the Mind well and strictly protect this island and the door behind it, allowing no oversights.”
“Please rest assured, Lord Landlord, Mbappe’s architectural quality has always been the best.”
“I believe that.”
He believed that Liszt would definitely grant this favor for his father!
