Chapter 148: Collapsing Sky
"Boom!"
Robb's huge axe hit the ground, and the power of that moment made everyone tremble.
The great force in the axe came straight to the earth, and the earth let out a cry of grief, and with a click, the earth cracked, just like the fury of heaven and earth during a great earthquake, tearing out a huge crack in the ground, which didnt stop moving.
The hard bedrock, like a cracked earthen pot, clicked open and extended, and in an instant, it stretched into a canal that was a thousand yards long, fifty or sixty yards wide, and more than ten yards deep.
The noisy townspeople lost their voice collectively.
Theyve seen a lot of the hustle and bustle before, but this time it's a little surrealistic.
Not to mention ordinary townspeople, even Little Yi, the three adventurers, Bishop Elsie, the Queen, Number 8, Gugu, and Jiji, who had some insight, were frightened by the axe's power.
The sensitive and vigilant cat folks were so scared that they hid behind houses and trees, and some people even looked for a pile of leaves to get in and bury themselves.
Surrounded in dust, Robb waved his right hand, looked at the map he had drawn in his left hand, and then looked at the "canal" he had just opened up, with a satisfied smile on his face, "good. A thousand yards of the canal is done. It should be done with a few more axes. Fortunately, I controlled my force. If I put in a little more force, it will split into a canyon. "
Everyone:
He turned to the cats, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, kittens, soon we'll have a river, and you can catch small fish and eat them."
Cat folk:
Robb, Why isnt anyone talking?
With a cry, the kitten girl crouching on the roof of the Chapel of Darkness fell from above. It turned out that she was so frightened by Robb's axe that she forgot where she was for a moment. As a result, she slipped and fell off the roof.
Robb's body flickered, with a red light trailing behind him, "Charge forward."
In an instant, Robb reached under the eaves of the chapel of darkness and caught the kitten girl in his arms.
The kitten woman was suddenly hugged by him, which frightened her even more, and she began to struggle violently.
Robb felt a stream of heat rush on his arm The kitten girl peed in horror.
He hurriedly let go, and the kitten girl jumped out of his arms and quickly escaped into the Chapel of Darkness.
Im not a monster. Was it necessary to do that? Robb spread his hand and said, "it hurts to be so feared.
Everyone:
Robb saw that the townspeople were still in a daze and knew that his actions had gone too far, which seemed to frighten the townspeople. However, he doesnt have to worry. At a time like this, as long as you bluff or trick them, you can wake them up immediately.
He shouted at the top of his voice, "in the canal cut by my axe just now, there happens to be an ore vein. Look, a lot of silver ore is exposed. Go and pick it up."
As soon as the townspeople woke up, they hastened to take a closer look. There was a section of the "canal" littered with many stones shining with silver phosphorescence. Wasn't this a silver mine?
"Wow!" With a cheer, the townspeople rushed to the bottom of the river and frantically picked up the stones. As for Robb's insane axe actions, who cares?
Robb was in no hurry to take action. As soon as he connects the "canal" he had built with the river in the south, the canal would immediately be filled with water, so the silver mine would sink under the water. That's why he couldn't do it now. He has to wait for the townspeople to make a fortune and then make the canal.
He returned to the stone stool, sat down with his feet raised, threw the giant axe aside, and waved to number 8 with a smile, "look, you have the canal you want. The cats will soon have a way to settle down. Go back and arrange for them and build their houses as soon as possible. "
He had to salute respectfully despite his strange expression, "Understood."
He still had a crystal ball in his hand. The queen in the ball looked confused, but after all, she was a queen, so only after only a few seconds of confusion, her expression returned to normal, but her face turned a little pale, "what you just did was a technique of the barbarians in the northern wilderness. Its called collapsing sky, right?
"Yes!" Robb clapped her hands and said, "Little Sister Elizabeth is so knowledgeable that she deserves to be queen."
The Queen said, "but I have never seen collapsing sky split into a canal that is a thousand yards long, fifty or sixty yards wide, and more than ten yards deep! This is not normal; the strongest barbarians can only cut out a small hole more than a dozen yards long. What on earth did you do?
Robb shrugged, "I tell you. It was a seriously collapsing sky. That means that the barbarians you met before weren't serious. It's not that hard to understand."
Queen:
This doesn't make any sense. The Queen felt a little tired talking to this guy. She sighed and said, "I'm a little tired today. I'll turn off the crystal ball first. I'm going to deal with some government affairs. We'll get in touch when I'm free again.
Robb smiled and said, "Alright!"
The Queen was about to put her hand on the crystal ball and turn it off when a clerk suddenly came out and said, "your Majesty, the man we sent to talk about the plumbing access project reported that the business was not going well. Some civilians think that the access fee is too high. Were reluctant to bear the cost of the installation.
It turns out that Bright Road is worse than Westwind Town, which is rich in mining, so iron and copper are almost worthless. The mayor easily installed water pipes for all the townspeople.
But Bright Road is different. Copper and iron are quite expensive. If her Majesty wants to add water pipes to every household, it will cost too much, so she has to charge the residents an "installation fee." Then, theyll have to pay a "monthly fee" every month.
This "installation fee" is really not a small number, the nobles do not care, but the common people simply cannot accept it.
The queen frowned when she heard the report, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Robb in the crystal ball said, Haha! Then apportion the installation fee to the monthly fee. You advertise that there is no installation fee, but they must promise to use it for at least one year and just charge a little more each month. Let the clerk go back and study how much extra money you have to charge each month to recover the installation fee without making customers feel they are losing money. Youll solve the problem in minutes.
