Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 102 Chapter [-] Let some people live first

Mayor Joel, who hurried back to Phoenix Terrace from the farmland by the stream, narrated his thoughts to the lord himself.

With Xiahou officials earning a lot of money in Yueshen Village, the food problem that has plagued Shuangfengling for a long time has been basically solved: especially, when you eat winter food prepared by others, there will naturally be a kind of Unearned happiness.

This point, at the simple celebration banquet last night, was fully proved by the elf Vilf, who threw off her cheeks and was about to burst her belly without being dragged by others.

But while the food is not worrying for the time being, seeing the weather getting colder, the living conditions of Shuangfengling are beginning to be tested:
Until now, almost all Igor citizens lived in tents.

Tents set up with thick wool and oilcloth can certainly protect the occupants from the cold wind in late autumn, but whether they can provide enough warmth in the face of the harsh winter, Igor, who has just arrived in the wasteland and is not familiar with the climate For the family, it is undoubtedly still an unknown.

It just so happened that the basic fortifications around the Phoenix Terrace had been completed, and the construction workers under Master Donald were also idle;

The old master and Mayor Joel met to discuss, and it was indeed time to start building the house.

Although time is limited, it is impossible for them to provide everyone with shelter from the wind and rain before the severe cold, but let some people live in fixed houses first, and then use the saved animal skins and stoves to improve the thermal conditions of other people's tents. At least this winter, everyone should be able to overcome the difficulties together.

And the first ones who should get their own housing, without a doubt, will be the lord and Miss Katerina.

In fact, Xia Houyan himself didn't care: he wished he could live in a tent with his fellow citizens through thick and thin;
However, the living conditions in the wasteland are still too bad for her sister Katerina who was spoiled and raised since she was a child.

Although this noble lady said nothing on her face and always kept a warm and kind smile on her face, Xia Houyan could tell that she was struggling to adapt to the many inconveniences in life.

For example, the current Fenghuang Terrace has not excavated septic tanks and toilets for the time being;

People have three urgent convenience problems, and everyone solves them by the stream:
As long as a convenient location is chosen downstream of the water intake in the territory, not only will it not pollute, but it can even be regarded as fertilizing the farmland beside the stream, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Katerina Igor, who was instilled with a set of etiquette for noble ladies since she was a child, and never took a big step even when walking around the camp, how could she bear to do such a thing in broad daylight?

Knowing that in the early days of the territory construction, everyone was extremely busy, and Katerina, who was unwilling to bother others with such a trivial matter, firmly rejected the solution that Anjie and other maids would specially draw the curtain and provide cover for her;

As a result, she had to blush every time she went to the bathroom, and she ran far away along the creek until no one around could see her, and then she solved her physical problems covertly.

If this continues, Xia Houyan is even afraid that one day she will be taken away by wild wolves.

The lord who felt sorry for his sister quickly agreed to Mayor Joel's proposal:
No matter how impoverished Shuangfengling is, after all, it is still an official aristocratic territory entrusted by the empire. Even from a facade point of view, an upright lord's mansion is necessary!
The solution to the building material problem was also unexpectedly smooth:
Among the captives rescued by Xia Houyan from Yueshen Village, there was a senior brick maker from the former Eagle's Rest Fort;
According to his observations, although the terrain of the Land of Cracking Soul is mainly sandy soil, there is a piece of clay soil in the southeast of Phoenix Terrace. The soil quality there can be used as a good material for burning bricks!

Therefore, as long as the skeleton of the building is built with wood, and the main body of the building is built with fired bricks, a luxurious mansion can be smoothly built for the lord and his brother!
In fact, this brick maker has been building a brick kiln with clay at the foot of Fenghuang Terrace since early this morning!
"Is it too late to burn bricks?" Looking at the brick kiln that was already taking shape, Xia Houyan still couldn't hold back, and asked a question as a layman.

According to his memory, on the earth, until the application of modern technology and the temperature in the furnace can be guaranteed, many bricks in ancient society were not sold overnight - firing a batch of bricks that can be used in a brick kiln, It will take a long time of several days or ten days at every turn.

In Shuangfengling, which is in urgent need of housing, there is no azure color waiting for misty rain, but I am waiting for your leisure and elegance.

As a result, Mayor Joel did not care about his own beauty, but generously explained to the lord, with a smile in his eyes:
"It does take a few days to burn bricks normally... But don't we have magicians here?"

Xia Houyan suddenly realized.

Of course he knows that if "magician" is used in the construction process, it obviously does not refer to the lord himself, but...

Master Laurie, who ran over Pidiandian under the call, learned a good news and a bad news with dull eyes:

The good news is that starting today, he no longer has to help the craftsmen to weld metal!

The bad news is that starting tomorrow, he will use this kiln as a heat source for firing bricks!

The brick maker looked at Master Laurie with a gloomy expression, and said excitedly, the heat provided by a fifth-level junior magister must be much more efficient than burning cow dung in our hometown, maybe one day It's ready!
Master Laurie said that Xiao Bi, do you believe that I killed you?
But in the end, the chief mage reluctantly accepted his tragic fate:

A fifth-level junior magister, although he has not reached the highest level of magic research, is still enough to be regarded as a guest by any noble lord——

As we all know, the higher the level of magicians, the rarer they are, and the strong ones above the level of magisters are even rarer!
But only in Shuangfengling, which is waiting to be rebuilt, the dignified junior magister can only serve as an enhanced version of cow dung fuel...

This fact filled Victor Laurie with grief and indignation.

Leaving aside Victor Laurie and the brick kiln that would be his long-term companion, Jahouyan and Mayor Joel finalized the location of the lord's mansion——

——It’s right in the middle of the Phoenix Terrace camp, like the bright moon hanging high above the starry sky, let the sacred light of the lord and Miss Katerina fill every corner of the camp.

At first, Xia Houyan was a little reluctant to accept this site selection plan:

The lord, who is quite concerned about privacy issues, doesn't want to do some "private affairs" in the dormitory by himself. Once he forgets to draw the curtains, it will be exposed to the eyes of the whole camp;

But a heavy bed crossbow exploited from Yueshen Village made him completely change his mind.

Xia Houyan felt that placing a heavy siege weapon on the roof of his house with a range of hundreds of meters inside and outside the territory, capable of shooting any unsightly creature into a pulp, seemed quite an attractive idea... maybe ?
