Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 84 Naming
"I hope you can be as dedicated as he is."

Karen glanced at Granny Oak. The dwarf was a little too excited. If you didn't know better, you would think he was going to build a castle for him.

"Don't worry, Lord Karen. Once this castle is built, it will be your residence, but it will also be my honor. Building an indestructible castle will make a dwarf famous in history, and all dwarves will remember me."

Granny Oak patted his chest and told Karen not to worry.

The castle was built not only for Cullen, but also for himself.

Building an indestructible castle and forging a peerless magic weapon are probably the best ways for dwarves to go down in history. This is the lifelong pursuit of every dwarf master craftsman.

The great "City Builder" Grak is still a well-known figure among the dwarves. Although that was a long time ago, as long as the "Kingdom of Mountains" does not fall and as long as "Grak Castle" standing on the top of the Ten Thousand Peaks does not fall, Grak will never be forgotten.

Even if the other "city builders" are not as famous as Grak, they will at least be highlighted in the history of the dwarves.

"I won't give you the naming rights."

Karen said that he would not name the castle he built "Gronny Castle" or "Oak Castle", which was too hasty.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you admit that I built the castle."

Granny spread his hands, looking indifferent.

The name of the castle was not important to him. As long as they could be sure that the castle was built under his supervision, the dwarves would call it "Gronni Castle".

This is the respect that the dwarves have for the "city builders". Dwarves are not as arrogant as the outside races and do not care about the contributions of the city builders at all.

"It's natural. Your contribution will be remembered."

Karen nodded. He had no reason not to admit that the nicknames used by the dwarves did not affect the official name of the castle.

"Has Lord Cullen already decided on a name for this castle?"

Granny asked curiously. From what Karen said, it seemed that he had already made up his mind. Should he call it Karenburg?

"Bloodstone Castle, just like before."

Cullen was still nostalgic, so he chose to name the new castle "Bloodstone Castle", the same name as his old castle.

As for the former Bloodstone Castle, it has probably been destroyed. After all, the castle of the vampires is like a devil's cave to humans, and the blood corrosion that permeates it is highly toxic to humans.

A castle built in the middle of a city will not release corrosion outside the castle, but inside the castle it will definitely be full of corrosion, because in such an environment, vampires will feel more comfortable, and comfort is of course the main priority in one's own home.

Beside every vampire, there is a group of loyal blood servants. The blood servants are not afraid of corruption and can move freely in the castle. These humans who serve the vampires only pursue eternity.

"Bloodstone Castle? I don't have much impression."

Granny Oak thought about it and it seemed that this Bloodstone Castle was not built by dwarves. He had no relevant information in his memory.

Bloodstone Castle was indeed built by human stonemasons and has nothing to do with dwarves.

Karen and Granny Oak talked all the way and soon arrived at the selected address, which was on a small hill in the mountains. The terrain was not very high, but it was prominent in the dense forest.

"Lord Karen, do we want to camp here?" After Granny Oak asked the team to stop advancing, Hellion stepped back from the front of the team and asked proactively.

"Well, let's set up camp first."

Karen nodded and signaled Hellion to arrange for people to set up camp. Setting up camp was very simple, just cut down trees. They had to cut down trees anyway, and they had to clear the foundation. The castle could not be built on a tree.

"After cutting down all the trees, we have to raise the height a little bit."

Granny Oak was obviously not satisfied with the height here. In his opinion, this place was not as good as the last mountain.

This is just a mound, slightly higher than the surrounding terrain. It is completely unqualified. It is no different from building a castle on flat ground.

All I can say is that there are obvious differences between vampires and dwarves in the choice of castle locations because their fundamental needs are different.

The dwarves lived in the Godspine Mountains and faced the threat of orcs, so naturally they mostly built mountain forts, which required them to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The living environment is different, the enemies faced are different, and the needs are naturally different. The vampires who have a strong country and can fight all over the world do not have such needs, so it depends more on personal preference.

Karen rejected the proposal to build a castle on a high peak and chose to build a castle in the dense forest.

Even if "Wangbo Port" expands here in the future, the woods surrounding the castle will be preserved. A castle in the forest is what Karen prefers.

Although Granny was helpless, as the "Party B" and a "worker", he could only try his best to meet the requirements of the "Party A boss".

"More than two hundred people. Half will stay to cut trees and set up camp, and the other half will come with me to quarry stone."

Seeing Hellion start to command the people to cut down trees, Granny Oak immediately asked to take half of the people. He couldn't help much with setting up camp, so he just took the people to start working and mined stones as soon as possible for use.

Stonemasons are a scarce profession in Wangbo Port. Granny Oak has trained many apprentices during this period, but they are still far from becoming masters. This is not a profession that can be mastered quickly.

It is difficult to become a stonemason quickly, but it is very easy to learn stone mining. If you have some strength, master some skills, and are honest, hardworking and follow instructions, you can become a good stone miner.

There is no way around it. A stonemason is a stonemason, and those responsible for mining stones are called miners to put it nicely, and coolies to put it bluntly.

Karen's decision not to build a castle on the mountain actually reduced his workload.

Transporting stones to the peak and transporting stones to the hills are not at the same level of difficulty, and the degree of danger is also reduced.

Under the command of Hellion and Granny Oak, more than two hundred young and strong men immediately started working enthusiastically, some cutting trees and some quarrying stones, bringing some vitality to the dense forest.

Granny Oak had already surveyed the stone materials before. He did not find any other minerals, but he did find many places suitable for quarrying. There were many rocks in this forest.

Of course, these are just used as miscellaneous materials. The real stone mining area is not in the mountains and forests, but on the sea. Not far from Lijian Bay, there is a small island, which is simply a natural stone quarry.

After learning about the existence of the island from Uther, Granny Oak went up there to see it himself. Unfortunately, it was just a rocky island with no special minerals.

But at least the stone problem has been solved. Before the entire island is sunk, Wangbo Port probably won’t have to worry about stone anymore.
