Chapter 148 (2/2)
”Well, I'll draw up an agreement first.”
Fiona went to the study happily. After Donne signed the agreement, durandon complained to Donne: ”really, you human beings have more things to do in a word. What agreements do you have to make? It's unnecessary.”
Donne smiled: ”you should understand that human beings are a complex creature. Different from your people in the earth, human beings often change their original intention and change themselves because of their different environment. Therefore, this agreement exists to restrict me, so as not to let me expand and look down on others.”
”Whatever you want, I still trust you.”
Duranden said casually, ”the wine festival is over today. Clout plans to see you again before he goes back. His assistants are waiting for you in the reception room.”
Donne and Fiona followed durandon to the reception room. Croto immediately got up and greeted him: ”Donne, my friend, I'm sorry I'm leaving now. If I can, I really hope to go to Ellington with you.”
Seeing that the dwarfs changed their faces again, Donne smiled and said, ”if it's a visit, you're welcome at any time, but I'm afraid it's impossible to stay permanently.”
”Hum, these guys who can't live without me... When can they grow up!”
Croto sighed: ”it's not so easy even to visit. It takes a month to go back and forth to you... Alas, it would be as convenient as coming to hammerforge.”
Durandon said with a chuckle, ”do you want to repair the subway to Ellington? The amount of work is not ordinary.”
”Wait! What are you talking about? Subway!?”
Donne was stunned. There was another thing he had never heard of in the game before!
Prandal's dwarf has got the subway out!?
”Yes,” said durandon carelessly, ”croto led his engineers and our dwarf craftsmen to connect the two cities in a few months and build a channel. In their words, it's called the underground railway, or subway for short. It's very fast, so it's very convenient for them to come to hammer Fort.”
”Eh? That's a good idea!”
But unexpectedly, after hearing what durandon said, croto was overjoyed: ”if the subway can reach Ellington, I can go at any time! How about we discuss it?”
Durandon shrugged: ”don't be ridiculous. It took so long to dig the tunnel last time. It may take many years to reach Ellington this time. Maybe when we dig it, Mr. Donne is too old to walk... Er, please forgive me, the life span of human beings is longer than that of us... You know.”
Donne smiled knowingly and said, ”the underground railway is too far away, but the above ground railway is certainly worth considering. In fact, I think it is really necessary to build an above ground railway because it can transport ore and asphalt.”
”It's really a good idea to use railway transportation,” durandon was stunned, ”but I'm afraid it's too late? After all, the quantities are not small...”
”There's a way to solve this. Don't forget that although dwarves are good at digging channels, their efficiency is far less than that of earth magic. If Donne makes a move or comes to some Rune dwarves...”
Duranden suddenly realized, and croto was happy: ”in that case, what are we waiting for?”
”Don't worry. Before that, I want to solve a troublesome problem of communication.”
Smiling Donne suddenly threw out a heavy bomb: ”I want to build a transmission array in forge hammer castle and gear city to connect with Ellington.”
A word fell to the ground and everyone was surprised!
