Chapter 69 Make You Extraordinary

After verifying that Bai Yuan Guo was a white radish, Xiao Yu was not as excited as he was at first.

He began to pay attention to other gains after capturing the capital this time.

First of all, those remnant soldiers and defeated generals are precious manpower for the Steel Capital Kingdom, a small country with few people.

It just so happened that those aristocratic families of the Gangdu Kingdom who survived the purge wanted to please the Lord Protector of the Kingdom, so they contributed money and technology, and these remnants of the defeated army contributed to building a road from the king's capital to the Canyon of the Gods.

The avenue is not required to be cut with stone slabs like the two-horse avenue in Wangdu, but it must be flat. This is also a big project for Lilliputian.

Even with the efforts of nobles and the assistance of extraordinary people, the calculation of the entire project volume is enough to make ordinary people dumbfounded.

But in order to win the favor of the protector of the kingdom, what is this difficulty for everyone in the Kingdom of Steel Capital!

Don't you see, those nobles who stood in the wrong line had their homes ransacked and their families were wiped out, and the corpses were still hanging in rows at the gate of the city?

As soon as Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, a group of nobles over there started to compete for the right to build various sections of the road.

It seems that pleasing Xiao Yu has become a profitable business.

After deciding to build the avenue, Xiao Yu listened to Inotia's report on the special talents harvested in the capital.

Naturally, all the artisans were taken into Xiao Yu's direct camp. There were more than 1,500 people in total. It can be said that the artisan industry in the capital was almost wiped out. Only a few apprentices were left to support the facade of the capital, so that the local residents would not even repair a latrine. Can't find anyone.

Apart from craftsmen, some people with special abilities are also on Xiao Yu's list.

For example, the old curator of the library is very knowledgeable. Although he saved the library this time, he dared not refuse to serve Xiao Yu's invitation.

After all, Xiao Yu's current prestige is much greater than that of Grand Duke Bianan! With Xiao Yu destroying the entire Feilan Kingdom Legion in an instant! His stories became more and more widespread and bizarre.

There were even rumors in the market that the giant Xiao Yu liked to eat human flesh and drink human blood, especially raw, so the legions of the Feilan Kingdom were all eaten alive by the giant, and they lost their complete bodies.

Rumors like this, don't even think about whether the little people's few catties of meat are enough for Xiao Yu's teeth.

But ordinary people just like to hear and believe! It can be said that the more outrageous these rumors are, the wider they spread and the more people believe them.

It also made Xiao Yu's prestige spread throughout the entire Steel Capital Kingdom in a short period of time, and many small towns and towns declared their submission in advance without seeing the King of Steel Capital's banner.

Apart from these intellectuals, what interests Xiao Yu are those artistic talents.

There are not many artists in the capital, only two painters, a bard and a song and dance troupe.

Xiao Yu also took a look at the portraits of the two painters. They were similar to oil paintings, and the style was more realistic. They belonged to the group of people who forgot to add their artistic talents and could understand them.

It's a pity that Zhongzhengguo's painting market is a deep pit. In many cases, it's not because you paint well that it's worth money, and it's mostly because of mutual bragging and raising prices.

For these two, Xiao Yu just took them as a backup, and let them refer to several world famous paintings to create.

Naturally, this new painting must be at least as large as a normal drawing board. Such a large-scale painting is unprecedented for the painters of the Gangdu Kingdom!

This made the two painters have some doubts about whether their physical strength and future lifespan would be enough to finish painting this masterpiece.

Xiao Yu asked Inotia to tell these artists not to worry about this, and would give them a surprise after returning to the camp.

All of them will not regret their choice!

Then Xiao Yu received the bard.

This is a young boy who makes Xiao Yu doubt his gender at first glance.

With short light blue hair, ice blue eyes, snowy skin and a slender figure, Xiao Yu suspects that if he was born in Zhongzheng Kingdom, he would definitely become the second Oppa to influence the gender concept of big fans.

At Xiao Yu's request, the bard sang a poem in praise of a great hero.

He had a good voice, but unfortunately Xiao Yu felt like falling asleep.

On the contrary, Inotia, General Babu and others looked intoxicated. It really is because the culture is different and they can't understand it?

Xiao Yu shook his head secretly in his heart, the song and dance troupe behind him didn't receive him either, so he was directly brought into the car, packed away with other craftsmen and various harvested materials.

Xiao Yu's direct camp is still in the old place, near Rongtiebao. With Xiao Yu's full return this time, there is no doubt that this camp will continue to expand and become an important foundation in Xiao Yu's hands.

Xiao Yu put the craftsmen here, apart from the important reason of being close to home, it is also because there is ready-made iron ore in Rongtiebao, and there are also channels to obtain a large amount of coal and coke.

In addition, there are abundant groundwater resources here, and there is a river flowing through many countries in the south. When the foundation grows bigger, it can save a lot of effort.

Xiao Yu returned to the big camp with his harvest. After a lot of tossing, even if Xiao Yu personally helped, it was not until Yuehang high in the sky that he was done.

Bonfires were lit between the tents.

In the few masonry rooms where the meal was cooked, cooks worked hard to prepare the delicious food provided by the great protector of the kingdom.

Ham sausage, luncheon meat, together with local barbecue and vegetables, make up the dishes on today's dinner.

As for the staple food, it is naturally rice.

But the chefs didn't need to do anything, Xiao Yu lit the gas stove and started cooking with the gas-type rice cooker.

Including Xiao Yu's own food, it is only a bowl and a half of rice... Of course, it is undeniable that most of these rice will end up in Xiao Yu's stomach.

The intestines and stomach of a villain who can't reach ten thousand are still no match for Xiao Yu's.

Not to mention that Xiao Yu also became a big eater after becoming a knight!

The Hoovers are a couple of craftsmen. They lived well in the capital by their crafts and raised five children who were also good craftsmen.

The Hoovers thought that they would end up like their father and grandfather in this life, and then watched their son continue to walk on the road of craftsman.

Unexpectedly, their family was first conscripted by Grand Duke Yanan to build the terrible armor-piercing crossbow, and then they were captured and became prisoners.

Fortunately, the Hoovers learned that the protector of the kingdom who likes to eat human flesh is looking for craftsmen, thinking that no matter how greedy the monster would be, he would not eat his own people, so the whole family of the Hoovers took the initiative to join Xiao Yu's craftsman camp.

At the end of the day, the gigantic figure of the giant and the three-legged steel monster that could make a deafening roar all made the Hoovers terrified until now.

Then we worked together to set up tents and level the road.

Finally... I can rest in peace and enjoy a dinner.

The Hoovers set up their tent, went to the open space outside and waited around the bonfire with the rest.

The surrounding people are all here for the first time. They are uneasy, but they also have expectations.

During this period of contact, the giant didn't seem to be as scary as they thought, and they also heard that the food here was terribly good!

Not to mention meat, there are also delicious foods that no nobles can eat!

The Hoovers were very skeptical about this. They are just small craftsmen, how can they compare with nobles?

Eating delicious food that no nobles can eat, you will be beheaded in the capital!

Not long after today's dinner was served, the Hoovers suddenly shouted excitedly and joined the army of grabbing food.

Ham sausage, the taste of luncheon meat, conquered the tongues and stomachs of these artisans.

It also relieves their fatigue and mental exhaustion throughout the day.

"Is this the surprise that the wizard of Inotia told us?" The Hoovers muttered while eating:

"My lord is so kind to us, even if we only eat such a meal a week, it is enough for us to serve him."

"Yeah, I'm still a little worried about the shop in the capital. I don't know if it can survive without us..." Mrs. Hoover nodded in agreement, but she still remembered the situation at home.

At this time, a voice reached the sky above the entire camp, causing every craftsman to stop eating.

"My craftsmen, my subordinates!" After finishing his dinner, Xiao Yu stood behind the one-meter-high platform he had built, and shone the headlights on himself.

"I, the protector of the Steel City Kingdom, am very happy with your decision!"

"I believe that you will never regret the choice you made today in the future!" Xiao Yu said and paused, and continued after Enotia nodded slightly:

"Because I can not only give you money, but also status..."

"Well enough……"

"Make you extraordinary!"

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, the whole camp erupted after a brief silence!

"What!"

"God! I, I heard right!"

"Impossible, I don't have knight talent, can I become extraordinary?"

"Cheat...you're a liar, craftsmen like me are nothing but pariahs who want to beat and kill, how could he be willing to treat us like this!"
