Lord of the Oasis

The next morning, Kant was after breakfast.

A familiar carriage stopped in front of the B\u0026B building. Kant walked out and saw Adonis in plain clothes sitting in the coachman's seat.

After Adonis saw Kant, he immediately stepped out of the carriage and saluted: "Good morning, lord."

"Why did you come here in a carriage alone? Where's Croretz?" Kant asked.

"Captain Crorez's leg was accidentally injured. The freshwater lake is closer than the coal mine we went to the day before yesterday. Just let me lead the way for you, Lord." Yadunis replied.

"Then only I can sit in your carriage." Kant smiled and waved his hand, dismissing the guards who were following him: "But this is also good, just pack lightly."

Adonis nodded and helped Kant get into the carriage.

Along the way, Yadunis spoke to Kant who was sitting in the carriage from time to time, asking about the current situation of Bandak and the others, as well as the details of the battle on the border of the Elf Kingdom. He has not returned to Dehrim for three months, and he has heard much of the news in scattered pieces. I don’t know much about what’s going on in Dehrim City either.

"Want to go back?" Kant asked.

"I thought, I wanted to go back after staying here for less than a month. But now that I have been here for the fourth month, I don't think about it much anymore," Yadunis replied.

"Due to the war, the main city did not have enough manpower, so we did not call in the troops to replace you. In fact, you should have gone back to rest a long time ago." Kant said: "You still have family in Dehreim, right?"

"Yes, I have a wife and children. My wife will send me letters every half month. The children are still young, so they probably don't know why I left." Yadunis said: "Actually, it's not hard to be here. Rather than going back, I want my family to come here and visit.”

"Dehrim has a ban on leaving the city, so this matter must come to nothing." Kant said.

The wind and sand were getting stronger and stronger, and even if they were only less than one meter apart, they still had to yell loudly to hear what each other said.

"That's really a pity." Yadunis said.

If possible, he would like to live here with his family for a long time. However, his wife and children at home may not be willing. After all, the bustling bustle of Dehreim always looks attractive.

The two of them chatted hard all the way through the journey,

By the time we reached the side of Half Moon Lake, the strong wind gradually became lighter.

So Kant was able to stand by the lake and take a closer look at the appearance of the Half Moon Lake.

The lake is azure blue and is located between two sand dunes. As the field of vision extended, Kant mentally estimated that this freshwater lake was about ten square kilometers in size.

It's really rare.

The undead who lived here before were probably like the elves and didn't care much about the water source.

It has naturally developed to its current scale.

The more Kant thought about it, the more he felt that this original city of the dead was a treasure.

Kant knelt down and explored the lake water on the shore. The lake water is clear and cool, and there seems to be a breeze blowing when you are close to the water.

"Lord." Yadunis called out Kant.

Kant stood up, but his figure was a little dazed.

"Be careful!" Yadunis quickly stepped forward to support Kant.

"I'm sorry, my health seems to be getting a little worse recently." After Kant stood firm, he said to Adonis with a smile.

"Lord, please pay attention to your health." Yadunis said worriedly.

Kant nodded and accepted his kindness. Someone turned sideways and looked at the lake: "This lake is really beautiful, even more valuable than an oasis in the desert. Durandal is really lucky to have such resources close to him."

"After a few months, the rainy season in the Nalun Desert will come again," Yadunis said.

"Before the rainfall period comes, a reservoir must be built to store water." After visiting here for on-site observation, Kant came to this conclusion.

"That being said, it is indeed true. I neglected to forget this in the planning draft. I am really sorry, Lord." After thinking of this, Adonis apologized to Kant.

"Don't worry, the manpower in your city is not busy with this matter." Kant responded: "After staying here for two days, I feel that turning Durandal into a typical industrial city is indeed better than I imagined. It’s much more complicated.”

At least so far, there are several problems facing us that require a lot of manpower to be solved.

I really want to get rid of all these things before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Kant thought silently in his heart.

On the way back, Adonis drove the carriage much slower than before.

One is that the strong wind in the desert has stopped now, and the other is that considering Kant's physical condition, he does not want to cause him discomfort by rushing.

Kant sat in the carriage for a while, feeling a little stuffy inside.

Then he came out and sat next to the driver's seat.

Looking at the scenery of the desert.

As a result, a group of wandering gnolls were discovered on the distant horizon.

Kant couldn't help but frowned, thinking about asking Adonis: "Didn't the soldiers guarding the city discover anything?"

"It's quite common for other races to wander outside. However, they don't seem to dare to approach Durandal. I don't know if they are afraid of the undead or the soldiers under Commander Bandak." Yadunis replied.

The soldiers led by Adonis are responsible for patrolling the city and the border.

So far, there has not been a single attack from these wandering races.

Kant heard what Yadunis said and nodded: "But you still have to note that the security tower has not been completely built yet. Only the soldiers stationed in the city are guarding the city."

"Yes!" Adonis agreed loudly.

When Kant looked in the same direction again, the group of jackals had disappeared.

In the evening, Yadunis's carriage drove outside the gate of the B\u0026B building.

After bidding farewell to Kant, Adonis continued to drive the carriage to the military camp. He still had a lot of military affairs waiting for him to solve.

After having dinner, Kant returned to his room.

I began to write down in written form my thoughts on what I had seen in the past few days.

I drew a circular formation resource relationship diagram on the manuscript paper, thinking about how to use the resources at hand to arrange everything about Durandal clearly after returning to Dehreim.

After all, the investment required for each project is related to each other.

The steps must be clearly defined in order to allocate resources together appropriately.

Until late at night, Kant was still sitting at the table, making plans for Durandal in the future. A whole pile of discarded manuscript papers was piled next to his elbow.
