Chapter 147 Two hundred and twenty thousand runes

Stonewell City is currently the only bridge connecting the Lake District and Nimgofu.

But in the past peacetime, on the right side of Stonewell, there was also a long bridge across the cliff and the sea, connecting the lake area and Nimgofu.

It was a large project built in the era when the Golden Tree was prosperous, when Gold and Moon were still peaceful and friendly. Now that the Shattering War has destroyed everything, it is almost impossible to rebuild the bridge.

This kind of building is troublesome to build but easy to destroy. No one wants to build such a thing during a war.

On the contrary, sitting in the strategic location of Stonewell and guarding the only entrance and exit is more suitable for this era of divided forces.

Neferi didn't want to see a war, but she was happy to see this happen.

The only problem is that she doesn't believe that anonymity can build a bridge.

"You can build a bridge?" Neferi didn't believe it. "Have you seen how high it is here in Stonewell?"

The two places are separated by a high cliff, hundreds of meters long.

Between the cliffs is not solid earth, but the sea.

Even if Neferi doesn't understand architecture, she can understand the difficulties involved.

"How are you going to erect the piers?" Neferi asked, "It's hundreds of meters deep."

"I have my own way." Wuming said confidently, "All you have to do is pay for it."

Neferi couldn't make up her mind and looked at Hyde.

"If it really succeeds, it will undoubtedly be cost-effective." Hyde said, "But in addition to technical issues, the political impact cannot be ignored. Your bridge spans two territories. What is the opinion of the Kaliya royal family?"

"Queen Full Moon will not have any objection." Wuming was full of confidence, "If you are really worried, I can build the bridge to you first."

Neferi said: "Is there any difference between that and me directly opening the city gate to welcome guests?"

Wuming looked at Hyde: "Explain it."

"Safe and convenient." Hyde said, "Just like the problems we encountered, many of them are because there are too many people coming to our city. Many of these people are just passing by to go to the lake area, but they have to pass through our city gate, bringing...

There are many hidden dangers.”

"That's right." Wuming said, "The three questions you asked before also originated from here. When the bridge is repaired, people passing by will not have to check carefully, but people entering the city will have the energy to ask carefully. You can find out the deliberate instigation and provocation.

Using spies to prevent enemies from sneaking into the city is also helping you solve those problems."

Hyde said: "I still don't understand, how are you going to build a bridge? It will be difficult for you to solve the problem of the Platinum Sons with your own manpower, right?"

"I mined an ore called gravity stone in the mine in Galede, which is derived from meteorites." Wuming said, "It can be used to build suspended corridors without the hassle of erecting bridge piers and pillars."

"No wonder, I heard that both the Golem and the Divine Grant Tower used the power of meteorites." Hyde said, "You actually have meteorites."

"I have a lot of abilities." Wuming said proudly.

"But there's a problem." Hyde said.

"What's the problem?"

"I'm afraid we can't afford to build it," Hyde said.

"I expected this problem." Wuming said, "Pay part of the fee first to maintain my most basic expenses. One month... it will be 220,000 runes. After the bridge is completed, you will have to collect bridge tolls.

, give me 20%."

"So kind?" Hyde was confused.

"I believe that your rule will last for a long time." Wuming said, "Sooner or later, I will be able to get my money back, and then it will be pure profit."

"Such large projects are led by demigod-level forces, and the cost will not be recovered for a long time." Hyde couldn't help but glance at Wuming, "Although you are a businessman, your courage is not comparable to that of ordinary businessmen."

"I have to give my people more strength." Wuming smiled grimly, "Besides, there is a guy who delayed me a lot of time, I have to get him back."

Hyde said: "We can allocate some runes, but we will monitor it regularly, and if the evaluation results are not optimistic, we may withdraw funds."

Nameless made an agreement with Neferiheide and then left.

"teacher!"

A familiar voice came from behind, and Millicent caught up from behind.

"Xiaomi, what's the matter?" Wuming asked.

"I heard you blasted the Platinum Sons from the podium," Millicent said, "Why?"

"It's just to make money." Wuming said, "Don't worry, I will send my people to provide homes for the Platinum Sons and help them improve the sewers."

"Really." Millicent was pleasantly surprised.

She believed Wuming without hesitation.

Wuming said: "Actually, the people in Stonewell are afraid that the Platinum Sons' household garbage will get mixed into the sewer system and poison them. But I'm not afraid."

"You are indeed a teacher." Millicent praised the sun with one arm.

"You shouldn't praise me. This is the credit of my allies." Wuming looked at Millicent, half-smiling.

"What ally?" Millicent was puzzled.

"Have you forgotten the contract I signed with the Corruption Families before?" Wuming smiled proudly, "The Golden People are afraid of the waste discharged by the Sons of Platinum, but the insects are not afraid. Can the poison be stronger than the Corruption Pond? Waste?

fertilizer!"

When she heard that the solution relied on insects, Millicent's face drooped and she lost interest.

Wuming glanced at her:

"So you came all the way here to find me to punish me?"

Millicent said languidly: "I think the teacher is harmless, and I want to know your true intentions."

"You really care about the Platinum Son." Wuming said.

"I see myself in them," Millicent said, "and we seem to have some connection."

"Then you should think carefully about what the Platinum Sons will do in the future." Wuming said, "Their life is not easy."

"You promised to help the Platinum Son." Millicent said, "With your help, there will be no problem."

"Then you are wrong." Wuming said, "Fire can ignite firewood, not because the fire is powerful, but because firewood can be ignited. I can help for a while, but not for a lifetime."

Wuming thought for a while: "To put it simply, I can lend money to help them start a business, but I can't support them for free."

Millicent said: "Are you saying that the Son of Platinum lacks the means to save himself?"

"I heard that the Platinum Sons were born with serious illnesses and were destined to be disabled." Wuming said, "I do not discriminate against immortals, nor do I discriminate against demi-humans, because they can both provide labor and make money for me. But what about the Platinum Sons? What are their specialties?

?”

Millicent hesitated: "Physical specialties?"

Wuming said: "In short, they are here in Stonewell. It doesn't matter whether there is poison in the blood. What is important is how much benefit they can bring to Stonewell, to Nefeli, and to the residents here. Only if they can bring benefits to people,

Only then will people be willing to accept them. Runes, runes are everything. All other racial discrimination and sacrilegious rituals are all false."

Millicent asked: "Is there anything you can do?"

"What can I do? This city is not mine." Wuming said, "I might let them engage in weaving... but that won't work. They might poison the silk, which is inappropriate."

Millicent felt a little depressed after hearing that there was nothing she could do.

Wuming reached out and wiped Millicent's face.

"What are you doing, teacher?" Millicent avoided with her face a little red.

Wuming showed Millicent the gloves:

"What is this white thing, mercury?"

"Oh, I guess it was when I was helping Letina take care of her injuries that her blood was spattered." Millicent wiped her face.

Millicent told Wuming about Letina, and also told Wuming about the strange teeth of the vicious dog.

"Interesting..." Wuming murmured, "The Platinum clan has been studying ways to return themselves to normal."

"Yes, they work very hard," Millicent said.

"They are very perseverant." Wuming said, "I admire them very much. Maybe they can use their brains to create wealth."

"With your brain?" Millicent said.

Wuming said: "You can study the conditions for the formation of that dog tooth. If it can be reproduced in mass production, I am willing to buy it."

Millicent's eyes lit up:

"Really? How many runes are you going to spend on it?"

"Two hundred and twenty thousand runes a month." Wuming raised his two fingers, "As long as I am alive, I can support them every month."

Hearing this number, Millicent seemed a little hesitant.

"Isn't this satisfactory?" Wuming was surprised.
