Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

88 On why the hanging gardens should be hammered

The Xianlang caravan, which was selling goods along the way, had left Escalon City for nearly a month, and was only a few days away from the imperial capital as its destination.

Then this journey, which was not too long but definitely not short either, was completed in less than five hours by Ella who was riding Jet Shadow.

For five whole hours, the pure white Mealas did not rest for a moment.

Ella, who had been riding with him for five hours, felt that neither the bones nor the internal organs were hers anymore.

Ella, who complained about the admiral in her heart, looked at the city of Escalon, which was not far away, and fell into a state of sluggishness.

Fortunately, Jet Shadow has the characteristics of automatic driving and stable riding, so Ella, whose internal organs were about to be shaken and displaced, did not fall off the horse.

"Wait, am I going the wrong way?"

Although Ella had already learned from Milin that Gray Wind was secretly building a spectacle, she was mentally prepared.

But when she saw Escalon, where all the walls had been demolished and one-third of the city turned into a construction site, Ella still felt for a moment that she was in the wrong place.

Jieying, who could understand human speech, snorted in dissatisfaction.

When Ella was surprised, Alori, who was pushing a boulder as tall as a person up the slope, also saw the familiar white horse.

"Oops! Sister Hui Feng, the boss is back to hold us accountable!" The frightened Alori immediately let go of what he was doing and jumped down from the dirt slope that had reached three or four stories high.

The completely lack of safety awareness made the already bustling construction site instantly quiet.

In the silence, the rolling logs under the boulders creaked and groaned, announcing that they were leaving get off work early.

"careful!"

Boulders sliding straight down the slope elicited several panicked shouts.

Those who did not shout out also looked at the chief engineer standing directly below the slope in horror, wearing a safety helmet and holding a design drawing in his hand.

Gray Feng, who raised his eyes and glanced at Alori, ignored the boulder that was crashing towards him. When the boulder slid to his side, he raised his hand and clenched it into a fist to hammer the boulder.

With a "boom", the impact of the boulder sliding down was completely offset by this punch. Gray Feng himself remained motionless.

After a few seconds, the sliding boulder was dispersed into small stones of uniform size as if it had been blasted from the inside, revealing the metal frame inside.

After smashing the giant stone, Li Feng said to Alori who ran to him with an indifferent expression:

"This is the fifth stone. Remember to go to the pouring area to transport a new stone later."

"Sister Hui Feng! The boss is back! He must be here to settle accounts with us!" Alori said loudly, not caring that his workload was increasing again.

"The one who came back is not the commander, but Adjutant Ella." Gray Wind said indifferently.

"Hey...why is she back here? Is she here under the boss's orders to hold us accountable for building the spectacle?"

Judging from Alori's reaction, she also knew that secretly covering the spectacle was against Milin's wishes.

"I want to build it, it has nothing to do with you." Hui Feng took the initiative to take all the responsibilities on himself.

"Then I'll rest now. I'll leave all the garden building matters to you, Sister Gray Wind!" Alori immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick.

"Ha..." Gray Feng just glanced at Alori indifferently, who wanted to seize every opportunity to fish, put away the blueprint in his hand and walked away.

"Okay, I was just joking. Sister Gray Wind, please wait for me." Knowing that Gray Wind was going to greet Ella, Alori quickly followed.

Seeing that the two bosses had run away, Avigo, who was also wearing a hard hat and was in charge of supervising the work, picked up the gong at hand, knocked it and shouted:

"Let's call it a day!"

Ella, who rushed all the way back to the center of the town, first picked up the water bottle and drank a few big gulps to relieve the fatigue caused by the next journey, and then said to Gray Wind and Alori, who walked in one after another:

"Admiral knows that you are secretly building a spectacle."

"Is the boss angry?" Alori asked quickly.

"No, the Admiral just wants to know why you chose the Hanging Garden instead of some other wonder," Ella said.

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Alori breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he was not being held accountable.

"In the design drawings that the commander has exchanged, the Hanging Garden is the most suitable wonder for the palace building." Compared to Alori, who was worried about being held accountable, Gray Feng explained the reason for building the Hanging Garden nonchalantly.

"Royal Palace? Oh, the Hanging Garden is something similar to a palace, but why do you suddenly want to build a palace for the admiral?" Ella asked strangely.

"Accommodate the concubine," Hui Feng said in a calm tone with a conclusion that sounded very subtle.

"Ahem..." After hearing the reason, Ella almost choked out the water she just drank: "Why is it a concubine? The admiral is not in the port area now, so how can he get three thousand beauties?"

Gray Feng didn't answer this question, and Alori didn't answer either. The two "people" just looked at Ella who asked this question with their eyes as if it was still a question.

Even Ella, who asked this question, felt as if she had asked an unnecessary question.

"...I will definitely introduce Beizhai to Hui Feng if I have the opportunity in the future." Aila, who didn't expect that someone under Milin would start thinking about concubines before Milin became emperor, said a little speechlessly.

Gray Feng's approach was exactly the same as Beizhai's as the port secretary ship.

It's just that Beizhai did it to provide more creative materials for his own notebook, so why did Hui Feng do it?

Although she didn't understand how she, who was just working for money, could be counted among the future concubines, Ella still remembered that the reason why she rushed back all the way was not to discuss the hanging garden.

Ella first handed the letter written on several pieces of papyrus to Gray Feng, then carefully placed the sealed porcelain bottle on the table and said:

"This is what the admiral asked me to send back. The admiral said this thing might destroy the world."

"Oh haha! Has the boss met the world-destroying devil?" Alori immediately picked up the porcelain bottle that Ella had placed on the table and shook it in his hand.

Just when Alori was about to open the lid and see what was inside, Gray Feng, who had read all the letters in less than a second, raised his hand and snatched the porcelain bottle from Alori's hand.

"Hey, can't you let me take a look?"

Alori said with no sense of safety at all.

"It won't be here for a while." Hui Feng stuffed the porcelain bottle directly into his body. The letter in his hand seemed to be burned a little, but he couldn't see the sparks disappearing quickly.

"I'll go back as soon as the letter is delivered to me," Ella said.

"Come with me first, Alori, you too." Hui Fengyan said concisely and concisely.

"The Admiral is still waiting for me to cook him dinner!" Ella said quickly, not knowing what Gray Wind was going to do.

Hearing that Ella already regarded being a cook as her official job, Alori's curiosity about what was in the porcelain bottle turned into complaining about Ella.

"Ella, you still said that you are not the boss's harem? Even if it weren't for your attitude, you would still be in reserve."

"This is extra salary!" Ella immediately responded to Alori's complaint with a positive look.

Hui Feng, who ignored the interaction between the two men, directly opened the entrance to the basement.

Alori and Ella, who noticed that Gray Wind seemed to be serious, also stopped arguing with each other and walked in together.
