Dragon Gate Swordsman

The police inspector was a native of Shendu. Except for a few business trips, he had never left here and rarely saw patients with mineralopathy.

"By the way, Chongxiao, I didn't put you in the queue for the duty change... Just focus on communicating with them. I don't think the Ministry of Rites will send a special guide over."

It's natural. After all, if travel is not allowed, what is the use of a guide?

For the Kazdel delegation, only the food was barely considered "equal treatment". After being prepared in the reception area hotel, it was delivered by the staff of the Ministry of Rites, and there was enough food.

Of course, compared to the bustling next door, it was definitely deserted... Kal'tsit and the others had no intention of inviting the SWAT team to join them, and the latter were unlikely to agree...

In short, the two sides were clearly divided and always kept their distance. Anyone could tell that they were unwilling to deal with each other at all.

Not only the SWAT members, but also people from the Ministry of Rites came to take a look at the basic situation when delivering dinner, and that was all.

Chongxiao saw all these scenes and just frowned.

Based on the various information he saw on the Internet and Longmen's personal experience, he knew that the residents of this land were very hostile to people infected with mineral disease and the Sarkaz, but he did not expect the situation to be more serious than he had imagined.

For example, this shabby Kazdel delegation, if they really wanted to refuse, they should simply not allow them to enter the city in the afternoon. But since they were allowed in and specially arranged their own guard team, it means they chose to accept them, so there should not be such obvious discrimination.

Putting aside the question of whether it was rude or not, Chongxiao just felt that doing so would easily make enemies.

If this so-called King Theresa wins the civil war in the future and the unified Kazdel becomes a neighbor of Da Yan, then today's differential treatment will become a serious diplomatic issue.

Chongxiao felt that he needed to report to his superiors, so he asked Wu Qinghe for half an hour's leave time.

It would be too much to go directly to Zhao Zhen for such a matter, so he planned to go to the reception area to visit Yang Xuan, the Minister of Rites who was in charge of coordinating the reception.

Unlike the guesthouse where Kal'tsit and others stayed, the hotel in the reception area had a high ranking even in the entire Divine Capital. Usually, it mainly served students or inspection groups from other cities in Da Yan, so it was rarely full.

But today is definitely an exception...

There were many people in the delegations of various countries who were interested in Dayan, the mysterious ancient oriental country. People like the Sakota of Lateran were even more eager to see the world in chaos. If it weren't for the nightfall and the fatigue from the long journey, it is estimated that all the members of the delegation would have gone out to play.

Therefore, the garden square in the reception area was a complete mess, filled with foreigners who were just hanging around with nothing to do.

Now, Chongxiao has only learned some Dongguo language from Xingxiong besides Yanguo language and Victorian language, but he can still hear from the translator that Shelag's priest is disdainful of the coldness of the capital of the gods, Rem Billiton's Carters engineer is asking about the unique mechanical technology of Yan Country, and Casimir's Kuranta knight wants to see the legendary martial arts.

If he didn't have any mission, Chongxiao would definitely want to hang around here for a while and gain more experience.

Now...it’s better to try to find Lord Yang Xuan.

But at this moment...

BOOM! ! !

The sudden explosion made the bustling garden square suddenly quiet, and everyone looked up at the building where the sound came from.

Since the square is well equipped with high-power lighting equipment, one can clearly see the windows from which thick smoke is emitting and the faint halos in the windows.

Just as Chongxiao was hesitating whether he should rush over to save people, the words coming from the side made him feel ashamed...

"Oh... God, it must be those Sakota people causing trouble again!"

"It is said that their art is explosions, so wherever they go, there will be explosions?"

"This is really rude! It's so rare that this ancient oriental country opens its doors to us!"

The Sakota people, Chongxiao was quite familiar with this race. After all, there were several Sakota police officers in the Guard Bureau, and all of them were experts with guns... Sometimes Haoyun would drool when he saw them fiddling with all kinds of guns.

Wait, with this kind of chaos happening, shouldn’t Lord Yang go over and take a look?

Seeing that many of the SWAT team members who were serving as escorts were rushing towards the direction of the explosion, Chongxiao also ran quickly and almost bumped into a tall member of the Shelagh delegation.

"Uh... sorry sorry!" he shouted twice in Victorian without stopping.

"It's alright, my ally..."

Sure enough, when Chongxiao ran downstairs to the building where the explosion occurred, he happened to see Yang Xuan, the Minister of Rites, walking towards him in a hurry.

The Sakota man who was causing the trouble seemed to be waiting for him downstairs.

When Yang Xuan was young, he studied in Victoria just like Chen Huijie, so he was proficient in multiple languages. At this moment, he didn't even need a translator. He directly communicated with those dusty Sakota people in Lateran, which made many people exclaim in surprise.

As for the "culprit", it should be the blue-haired Sakota girl who was forced to bow with her head pressed down and had an awkward smile on her face.

Chongxiao couldn't understand the Lateran language, and could only barely make out a word similar to the Victorian language, "Mostema". He didn't know whether it was a common word in the Lateran language or the name of the blue-haired Sakota girl.

The situation did not seem to be very serious. Yang Xuan probably knew the character of the Sakota people, so he quickly ended the conversation.

Seizing this opportunity, Chongxiao stepped forward immediately.

"Master Yang, please wait a moment."

"You are……?"

"Special Squad 14, Chongxiao, is responsible for protecting the Kazdel envoys."

Yang Xuan was stunned, as if he had just remembered that there was such an envoy.

Although he was very busy that day, he did not wave his hand to let Chongxiao go, but listened patiently to the report on the situation of Kal'tsit and others.

"What you said makes sense, but..."

“Having trouble finding a suitable place temporarily?”

"That's right. I'm sure you, Chongxiao, should also know that they came uninvited, and most of them are suffering from mineral sickness, so there is really no way to arrange them together with other delegations."

"In that case, I suggest renovating the guesthouse on the spot."

Yang Xuan's eyes twitched at Chongxiao's words. If he hadn't been so well-mannered, he would have walked away in anger.

However, he soon realized that this seemed to be a solution...

Chongxiao’s idea was very simple, which was to temporarily gather the young civil engineering masters who were now on winter vacation to come together to give the dilapidated guesthouse a “major overhaul”.

Under normal circumstances this is simply impossible, but quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Anyway, during the holiday period of the Tianshi Mansion, those civil engineering masters who have not yet graduated do not have formal qualifications and cannot participate in work. It is better to have a large-scale "collective internship".

Improve the living conditions of the Kazdel Mission and give young civil engineers opportunities. It’s a win-win situation!

"This method... seems to work!"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xuan nodded slowly. "In that case, I will have someone issue a notice tonight, asking the students of the Tianshi Mansion to gather tomorrow, and then dispatch a reserve team. Chongxiao, this matter will be handed over to you tomorrow."

Chapter 51: Which infrastructure company is strong? Da Yan can be the king

When Chongxiao came in and informed her that they were moving out of the guesthouse, Kal'tsit's expression did not change, but a hint of helplessness emerged in her eyes.

Perhaps in her opinion, Da Yan still cannot tolerate Ore Disease and the Sarkaz, and is unwilling to recognize her as Kazdel's emissary...

But just five minutes later, Kal'tsit discovered that things seemed different from what she had expected.

"What are they doing?"

"Like they're going to... tear down that building."

"Just because we were there for one night?"

The Sarkaz mercenary known as Hedley narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "If that's the case, isn't that a bit too much?"

"No... that's not right. Let's take another look."

Kal'tsit folded her arms and looked downstairs expressionlessly.

All members of the Kazdel Mission were transferred to the nursing dormitory next door. This building was even more dilapidated than the main building of the guesthouse and seemed to have not been used for a long time. The broken floor was covered with dust.

Not only the personnel, but also the luggage and gifts prepared for the True Dragon Emperor were brought over.

Now, many young people in plain clothes gathered around the main building, talking to each other in a casual manner, and they didn't look like they had already started working.

There was also a special police officer named Chongxiao, who was standing downstairs talking to a man dressed as an engineer.

The three Sarkaz mercenaries all looked unhappy. Ines had a cold look in her eyes, Hedley was indignant, and W, who was holding a cigarette, was fiddling with his gun... Most of the guns of the Sarkaz mercenaries were looted from the Lateran caravan, and he was no exception.

The next scene made them even more alert.

Several young men raised their Originium staffs and aimed at the main building of the guesthouse.

The next moment, the entire building seemed to be caught in a vortex of time and space and began to rapidly decompose... Steel bars, cement blocks, tiles, alloy frames and other building materials fell into separated areas as if being manipulated by invisible hands.

The civil engineering master of Dayan is well-known. If he can build something, he can also demolish it.

The dump truck that had been prepared by the side of the street quickly turned over, and then at Wu Qinghe's command, the special police team members began to load the decomposed waste building materials into the truck.

In addition to the original twenty-odd people present, there was also a reserve team that the Ministry of Rites urgently mobilized in the morning. All of them were strong and powerful, and they worked enthusiastically... The people of Dayan have always had great respect for collective labor, and even the most selfish people would not let down at a time like this.

Among them, Chongxiao's performance was the most "eye-catching". He used his spiritual power to transfer a large amount of discarded building materials in the air, which made the young civil engineering masters cheer.

It's like a carnival!

In less than ten minutes, the area where the dilapidated buildings originally stood turned into a wide open space.

"Kelsey, what on earth do they want to do?"

"... maybe a new building."

Kal'tsit's eyes flashed with a strange look, "I just didn't expect... Well, with Da Yan's infrastructure capabilities, if it claims to be second, then no country in this land should dare to claim to be first."

Several more civil engineering masters walked to the open space. They squatted down and observed something carefully. Then they also activated the Originium technique, making the ground become much smoother after a while.

Now, even Kal'tsit, Ines and others upstairs could see that they were consolidating the foundation.

Chongxiao, who had just sent away the dump truck, stood in front of the young Taoist priests and asked questions loudly, such as who is good at reinforcing walls, who is good at inlaying doors and windows, and who is good at laying floors.

Ines and others who had never seen the power of the Tu Mu Tian Shi looked at each other in bewilderment. Only Kal'tsit showed a look of surprise.

Soon, the civil engineers who were divided into several groups started working.

A towering building rises from the ground. This saying has been circulating in Dayan since ancient times, but seeing it become a reality with your own eyes, the feeling is almost indescribable.

The expressions of the Sarkaz people upstairs changed from anger to surprise, from surprise to shock, from shock to admiration, and finally they even had the strange urge to go out and help...especially when they watched the new floors appearing one after another at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button on time.

An absurd thought suddenly popped up in the minds of Ines and others: Could it be that so many people are working hard here to provide a new place for the Sarkaz to live?

"Isn't this...impossible?"

"not necessarily."

Kal'tsit said softly, "Dayan has always attached great importance to image issues. In the past, even if someone refused to attend an international conference, they would definitely send him a generous gift... This time, it's probably the same reason."

"You seem to know this country well, Kelsey."

"I know every country in this land, including Gaul and Agor."

She turned her head and glanced at W who was questioning her. "Their past is written in books. No one will stop you from learning and understanding it."

"…Forget it, I don't even know a few words."

W shrugged and blew out a smoke ring.

As the sun gradually set and the afterglow slowly disappeared, the people gathered downstairs suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.

Civil engineers, workers, circuit specialists, drivers, project inspectors, and even officials from the Ministry of Rites seemed to have forgotten their original duties and joined in the cheers.

Six hours... In just six hours, a brand new five-story building replaced its dilapidated and run-down predecessor, standing tall and vigorous on the land of the capital.

In this situation, not to mention the Sarkaz mercenaries upstairs, even Yang Xuan, the Minister of Rites who came over with the food delivery man to inspect the situation, was a little out of control... He had previously estimated that it would take one day and one night, but who knew that the efficiency would be three times higher!

"This... this... will this work?"

"Mr. Han has inspected it from top to bottom, and everything meets civil engineering standards."

Dumbfounded, Yang Xuan turned to look at the project acceptance engineer he sent and received a nod in response.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems acceptable...

Although Dayan is "rich" in civil engineers, there are not so many of them that they can be found everywhere, so most of the construction projects in the civilian field still have to rely on ordinary workers... A project like Shang Shu's, which gathered hundreds of civil engineers and directly moved the mountain to a mobile city, is a national-level project in the entire Yan Kingdom, and ordinary people cannot access it at all.

But this time it happened to coincide with the winter break and coronation ceremony of the Tianshi Mansion in Shendu, so these young Tianshi who had not yet graduated did not return home, but stayed in Shendu to watch the fun, which was equivalent to meeting the conditions for summoning them.

If we have to say there was any unexpected factor, it was probably that Chongxiao transferred the modular process of mechanical manufacturing to the work of the civil engineers.

"I will report this to His Majesty and give you credit for your achievement, Chongxiao."

"That's not necessary..."

Chongxiao was somewhat amused and confused. He felt that he had heard these words more than once since he came to the Capital of Gods.

In addition to inspecting the renovated buildings, Yang Xuan had two other things to do during his visit. The first was to invite all those involved in this work to the reception park as a reward for overtime work, and the second was to meet with the members of the Kazdel delegation.

That’s right, just like Kal’tsit said... Da Yan never skimps on image projects, so since the Kazdel delegation is welcomed into the city according to the formal procedures, they will try their best to give them the treatment they deserve.

Moreover, Yang Xuan was not very old, and he was confident and domineering. He even pushed aside the Originium Dust protection equipment handed to him by his assistant.

"I guess this is Ms. Kal'tsit, who is representing Queen Theresa. Excuse me, I am Yang Xuan, and I am the Minister of Rites of Dayan."
