"I want to build a city here called Dragon Valley City, then build a road from Inferno City called Longxue Avenue. Then build a road from Dragon Valley City to Estuary City called Longxue Avenue. Inferno City also wants to build a road to the reed marshes called Longxue Avenue, and build a city in the reed marshes called Reed City! "
Liszt casually sketched on a map.
Inferno Island was square in shape, but at an angle. The Sacred Mountain where the Moonslayer Holy Tribe was located was roughly at the center of the island. From here, one could divide the island into two halves, northwest and southeast. Currently, the Flame Men's activities were mostly concentrated in the southeast.
The geographical center of the southeast was roughly the Maelstrom Mountain, so Inferno City at the foot of the Maelstrom Mountain could become the transportation hub and central city of the southeast.
Longxue Avenue extended east from Inferno City, crossing two tributaries of the Maelstrom River and extending to Reed City near the reed marshes. Reed City, which guarded the Heartreed Transportation Formation, would inevitably become a trading city. Further east from Reed City was the east coast, where a suitable port could be found to build a port city.
Longxue Avenue extended west from Inferno City to Jade Mountain, a branch of the Flame Mountain Range, and connected to Jade Stone City that was being built here. In the future, a road could be built from Jade Stone City to the west and north, reaching the Sacred Mountain. Liszt intended to build a city at the center of the island.
Longxue Avenue extended southwest from Inferno City to the Dragon Pit Mine, and Dragon Valley City would be the future mining center.
Longxue Avenue extended south from Dragon Valley City to Estuary City at the mouth of the Maelstrom River. This city would be the only port city of Inferno Island at this stage, responsible for communication with Tulip Island.
Basically.
These four avenues were the current development vein of Inferno Island, and all agricultural and industrial production would be carried out around these four avenues.
The Heartreed Transportation Formation had been activated, and a steady stream of Knight and serfs were rushing to Inferno Island. When they arrived in large numbers, Inferno Island would be crazily developed.
"Longxue Avenue needs to be built as soon as possible. Emily, immediately lead the Giant Elephant Orders of Chivalry to build Longxue Avenue, and then Longxue Avenue."
"Understood, Your Highness!"
After assigning the tasks of repairing the roads and building the city, Liszt habitually left the work to others. He rode on the invisible dragon Bard and circled above the Dragon Pit Mine a few times.
The size of this mine located in the valley was beyond imagination. It was about 20,000 square kilometers.
Figuratively speaking, Liszt's hometown, Coral Island, had an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, equivalent to the area of an ordinary prefecture-level city. The Dragon Pit Mine was about the size of two coral islands or two prefecture-level cities, and it was distributed with five types of ores.
Of course, on average, the mining area of each ore didn't seem too big.
At present, it was confirmed that the galena mine was located in the depths of the valley and had a relatively small area; the mercury mine was located on the right side of the valley and also had a very small area; the black iron mine was located on the left side of the valley and had the largest area; the bronze mine was located in the middle of the valley and also had a sizable area; the titanium mine was located at the entrance of the valley and its size was still uncertain.
The exploration mages of the Association of Mages were exploring together with the Knight, striving to determine the exact distribution of the mining area and formulate a mining plan. As for the reserves of the mining area, it was very difficult to calculate. However, these ores were all shallow ores, and the difficulty of mining them was relatively low.
Unlike Earth, where many minerals were distributed deep underground, the metal and gem mines of this world originated from dragons, and their buried locations were very shallow.
Perhaps there were also deep mines. After all, no one had the means to explore and mine them.
"Once this mining area is mined, it will be enough to support the Fire Kingdom's resource consumption for decades. Coupled with the jade mine of Jade Mountain, there is no need to worry about resources … Flame Island deserves the praise of having a vast territory and abundant resources." Liszt was overjoyed. "However, is there really an Elemental Dragon's skeleton buried at the bottom of the Dragon Pit Mine?"
This was a question worth exploring.
Mining was not an easy task. It would take a very long time to completely excavate this valley. "Unfortunately, even if my Magic Eye is combined with the dragon, I still can't see the magic underground." The Magic Eye was already dazzling enough, but he still felt that it wasn't good enough.
… …
Heart Island.
The Knight was supervising the serfs' construction project. The chief architect was Mbape Gravel, the teacher of Liszt's chief architect, Jomaya Rammed Earth. Jomaya was almost executed for sleeping with Mbape's daughter-in-law, but was eventually bailed out by Liszt.
Mbape had been working as an architect for the Tulip family. The Heart Island was in urgent need of development, so Liszt hired him to preside over the construction of the island castle.
Perhaps he was resentful of Liszt for sheltering Jomaya.
But Mbape did not dare to show any of it. He still worked conscientiously. Moreover, there was the Knight of Black Horse Island supervising, so no one dared to cut corners.
"The watering is not qualified. We must use enough cement here!" He commanded in a loud voice.
The construction craftsmen immediately pushed a wheelbarrow of cement and poured it into the shallows of the Heart Island at low tide. High-quality cement made of volcanic rock had become another major infrastructure tool in Liszt's hands. After solidification, the cement was harder than rock.
Woo woo woo!
Suddenly, a horn sounded. A fleet of ships with red Tulip flags slowly approached the hastily built dock of the Heart Island.
There was also a huge pitch-black bird circling above the fleet.
The big bird landed directly on the construction site of Mbape and others. Then, a Knight wearing silver armor jumped off the bird's back. The supervising Knight immediately approached and saluted: "Sir Marquis!"
"Go and do your work. I just came to take a look." It was none other than Liszt's father, the Black Albatross Knight, Marquis Leewilliam.
"My Lord." Mbape also hurried to salute.
Leewilliam smiled: "Mbape, it's hard working on the island."
"It's an honor for me to serve His Royal Highness the Dragon Knight. It's not hard at all." Mbape responded hurriedly. He was a famous master architect, but in the eyes of the nobles, there was not much difference between him and the commoners. The gap in class status was far from being made up for by superb skills.
"Well, work hard." Leewilliam raised his hand in satisfaction. The Heart Island was not his territory, but it was his son's territory, so he had the spirit of being the owner. "Build the Heart Fortress well and protect the island and the door behind it. Don't let anything slip through your fingers."
"Please rest assured, my Lord. The quality of Mbape's construction has always been the best."
"I believe that."
Seeing that Leewilliam was about to go to other places to inspect, Mbape hesitated for a while and suddenly said: "My Lord, there is one thing I don't know if I should ask you or not."
Leewilliam slightly frowned: "What is it?" He did not like his followers and subjects making requests of him.
Mbape quickly said: "My grandson Steve Gravel is studying in the Knight College. He is only 17 years old and is already an Earth Knight. I heard that His Royal Highness the Dragon Knight is recruiting a new group of retainer Knight. I wonder if you can recommend Steve to His Royal Highness. "
Mbape bowed deeply to Leewilliam.
Leewilliam did not want to agree at first, but considering that Mbape had worked for the Tulip family for many years, he reluctantly agreed: "As long as the Soul Castle is built perfectly, I guarantee that your grandson can become a retainer Knight of Liszt."
Retainer Knight.
