Chapter 1359: Chapter 222: The Galewind Dragon King Gasps in Shock
——Professional construction talent. But according to the information, Ian obtained the Xiawei Territory less than a year ago, even if this is the prophesied future, that would be more than two years later.
How did he cultivate it?
With this doubt, the Galewind Dragon King saw Ian’s figure silently floating forward, and the light and shadow shifted accordingly.
Then, the road ahead turned into a city.
A city undergoing expansion.
At the end of the asphalt highway is a large city nestled by mountains and water, surrounded by forests and flower fields, faintly showing its past elegance. This text is hosted at Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
But now, as one agricultural skyscraper after another rises from the ground, the farmland that once surrounded the city, separating the urban area and the forest, has mostly disappeared, replaced by residential areas and squares.
Inside the expanding urban area is a clean square, and in the center paved with green stone is a large mountain sculpture fountain. On the statue of the Mountaineer’s Sacred Mountain is the statue of Lord Ian, arms outstretched in the same posture as when he gave a speech at the Holy Mountain.
In the pool next to the fountain, there are quite a few scattered penny copper coins, and occasionally you can see some Bison, and even Talle silver coins.
No one dares to fish for coins in the pool, and around the square are many artificial nests for mountain swallows and bonebreakers. They flutter around, catching mosquitoes, and occasionally receive a bit of bread crumbs from kind citizens—though a nearby sign says not to feed them, there are always people who secretly do.
“Not bad, this city design quite fits my needs. I’ll have Scott and the others think again about how to improve it when we return.”
The Galewind Dragon King heard Ian’s rather satisfied voice and turned his head in shock to look at the blue soul beside him: [You used the Prophet’s Power to design the city layout?]
“To be precise, not just the city layout, I also borrowed ideas for the road route and new materials just now—in the future, there’s no need to use asphalt roads and then replace them, I can go straight to the point.”
In response to the Dragon King’s inquiry, Ian shook his finger and answered with a smile: “How is it? Fast, right?”
Fast. Too fast. The Galewind Dragon King fully understood why Ian, at such a young age, achieved such accomplishments and how his research results were obtained—the Prophet was actually using the Prophet’s Power for scientific research and internal affairs!
[Incredible… Could it be that during your journey to the ruins, you acted this way too?]
The Galewind Dragon King gasped and couldn’t help but ask, while Ian shook his head slightly, “This level of Prophet’s Power isn’t that convenient. This time I was able to activate it because of the endless possibilities contained in the ‘Exotic Species Research Institute’ and ‘Dragon Island’…”
He didn’t continue speaking, and the Galewind Dragon King also continued to follow Ian’s perspective, experiencing the Prophet’s foreshadowing.
Xiahui City is currently undergoing continuous expansion. Mountain People Immigrants, Western Territory Immigrants, and others from all over the South Ridge have caused the population of Xiawei Territory to continuously rise. In the west of the city, there are many large construction machines, some Magnetic Storm Armor with weapons removed are busily excavating foundations and transporting materials, and several priority buildings are already taking shape, with their frames set up.
These buildings are completely different from those in the old districts of Xiawei Territory. They are grand, majestic, and imposing, with a quality that does not seem to belong to this era. The steel-and-glass domes are neat and beautiful, and on the surrounding towers, there are Magnetic Storm Coils and Prism Cannons patrolling and guarding.
The Galewind Dragon King glanced at these buildings and then exclaimed softly: [Primitive Starport?]
He looked at several other buildings that were nearly completed and was somewhat astonished: [Primitive Fusion Core and Primitive Refinery?]
“It’s primitive… No, it’s the Armor Research Lab, Elemental Crystal Condensation Factory, and Raw Material Refinery!”
Ian almost got led astray by the Galewind Dragon King’s words. He shook his head and said, “It seems in the future I should have collaboration with Marquis Barton and the Imperial Capital. How unexpectedly open and legitimate this development is… Strange, I thought the Imperial Capital would put me on ice because of my relationship with ‘Mahdi’.”
Prophecies cannot clearly explain the reasons, everything has to be personally experienced by Ian in the future, but knowing a ‘possibility’ in advance allows him to be better prepared for the upcoming challenges.
A year later, the Sky Crystal Mushroom farming in the Xiawei Territory has become large-scale, the refinery has officially started operating, continuously producing precious Elemental Crystals for use by major laboratories and alchemical equipment: leaving other topics aside, those construction exoskeletons that were modified from Magnetic Storm Armor, although they can greatly speed up various infrastructure constructions, also require an immense fuel cost.
If Ian himself did not control energy production channels and had to buy from the market, it definitely wouldn’t be cost-effective.
But even so… Simultaneously building so many laboratories is a bit too extravagant.
Perhaps the mass planting of Radiance Grass has already hit its stride? Or is it that… someone invested?
This is also a question, but it is not important.
Because, in the next moment, the view shifted from inside the city to outside, into the depths of the Bison Mountain Range among the Mountain Tribe.
And this time, there was no previous tranquility.
Because there was an extremely clear broadcast sound coming from one ox cart after another!
Unexpectedly, these broadcasts were not some coercive brainwashing propaganda, but rather some melodious music and folk tunes.
