Chapter 508: Landmark

The video continued to shake and move forward in the dark sewers. Every so often, one or a group of kobolds would appear on the screen.

While cursing and talking nonsense, the dwarf leader would rush up and beat the kobolds fiercely.

From the audience’s point of view, it was as if they were watching a livestream of “FPS Roleplay”. It was a bit like watching someone’s perspective, and it was full of energy.

However, while the ordinary audience were energetic, the two of them, Robb and the queen, were yawning. The two of them didn’t like to see this kind of reckless cleaning. In fact, the two of them wanted to see the construction of the sewer. However, the light was too dim, and the livestream images could only show a dwarf’s height perspective in front of them, and even the sewer wall couldn’t be seen clearly.

When Robb was about to fall asleep, a warm light suddenly lit up the livestream screen. The whole screen became bright, and the scenery that the camera could see clearly wide. The sewer wall was also lit up.

Robb’s spirit was lifted. “Eh? There’s a light source?”

The queen said, “it seems to be fire magic.”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they heard the voice of the dwarf leader. “Ah? You are here?”

He turned his head to look at the person, and the camera also turned around. Robb saw that Xuelu, Gorda, and Jike appeared on the live screen. With a ball of flames in her hand, Xuelu lit up the sewer.

The three of them were all neatly dressed. Gorda was wearing steel armor, which was rubbed by Robb. Jike was wearing flying dragon leather armor, which was rubbed by Robb. And Xuelu wore a silk robe and crystal staff rubbed out by Robb as well.

The three adventurers could buy a small town on Fengmo Continent just by selling a few sets of the equipment they wore. However, the three of them were not as eager for money as they were for adventures. Wearing this top-level equipment, they often went out to do a shabby small tasks and received dozens of silver coins for payment. It was simply bullshit.

Robb pointed at the screen and asked, “where did Xuelu go? She was just beside me.”

Lilian said in a low voice, “while you were discussing with the queen whether she would like to be your woman or not, Miss Xuelu went to the hillside to pull the Gorda and Jike into the sewer. She said that she wanted to take risks in the sewer, and that it seemed to be very exciting.”

Robb was speechless

Gorda stood in front of the camera and said, “guys, I don’t think you are good at tracking and detecting. Please leave it to us.”

“Oh?” the dwarf leader asked, “are you good at it?”

Gorda pointed at Jike, who didn’t like to talk. Jike just nodded, squatted down and carefully studied the Kobold marks on the ground.

The two of them, Robb and the queen, were carefully observing the construction of the sewer with the help of the fire light in the cave.

This section of the sewer was very beautiful. The passage was very wide, even wider than the alleys in the slums of Bright Road. The walls were all brushed with cement, and the ceiling and ground were also brushed with cement. If he hadn’t known that it was a sewer in advance, he would have felt that it was more beautiful and clean than an ordinary residence.

The queen couldn’t help but grumble, “the sewer is even better than a house on the ground.”

Robb said, “that’s because houses are too dirty. After I finish cleaning the underground sewer, I’ll start to clean the houses on the ground. All the houses will be pushed down and replaced with reinforced cement.”

The queen said, “are you sure you can afford it? It’s a town with more than ten thousand people. Do you think you can rebuild it all by yourself?”

Robb said, “rich people are always willful.”

The queen was rendered speechless

“Well, I was just kidding,” Robb said with a smile. “I won’t pay that. I just need to build a few standard buildings to let people see how good the concrete houses are. Then they will naturally abandon the current wooden houses, stone houses and brick houses and turn to concrete houses. At that time, what I need to do left is urban planning.”

Hearing this, the queen thought to herself, [is he guiding me again? This guy always does things like this. I will only do the base, and then leave everything to the nobility and the townsmen to follow up. This is really worth it to study. She wanted to do everything by herself and get all the benefits, but in fact, she couldn’t do anything good.]

In fact, she had been aware of it recently. Last time, Marian reported to her about the investment in building a train, collecting tickets to maintain the railway, and building more trains. After that, the queen found that the nobility had strong power. If the royal family did not eat up the cake alone, but was willing to cut it into pieces. And if these nobilities were given a large part of the cake, the nobility could help the royal family solve many problems that the royal family did not have the strength to resolve.

In other words, the royal family could only play a guiding role in many things, and then let the people follow up by themselves. Then the whole kingdom would be better.

She couldn’t help but ask, “what kind of foundation building are you going to use to guide everyone?”

Robb stretched out his hand and pointed at the governor’s house that had been destroyed by the caterpillar. “I’ll just use this building. Anyway, it must be rebuilt. I’ll make it the first reinforced concrete house in Westwind town.”

After saying that, Robb added seriously, “it’s your house, so of course you have to pay for it.”

The Queen: （╯‘-’)╯︵┻━┻

“Why do you want to ask me to pay for a landmark in Westwind town?” the queen went crazy.

“Hey, who is the one who said a few days ago that Westwind town is the territory of the kingdom of Gran and is inseparable from it?” Robb said. “If you are unwilling to pay for a landmark of Westwind Town, doesn’t it mean that this is not your territory?”

The queen was rendered speechless

She was angry, but she couldn’t deny it.

The queen had no choice but to yell at Number 32, “you loser, why didn’t you protect the governor’s house well? If it weren’t for the fact that the governor’s house had been crashed down by the monster, would I have been blackmailed by this damned man?”

Number 32, “well… Well…”

The queen said, “the construction cost of the reinforced concrete governor’s house will be deducted from your salary.”

Number 32, “what?”

The queen snorted, “as far as I know about this man, it will cost you a lifetime’s salary to build a new house. From now on, you won’t be able to get any salary from me.”

“Ah, ah, ah!” Number 32 screamed and fell in front of the crystal ball.

After they chatted for a while, they suddenly heard the voice of Jike from the TV. “We’ve found it! The passage dug by the monsters. Please follow me!”

Hearing what he said, all the audience’s spirit could not help but cheer up, and their attention returned to the TV.
