Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 675

Kant rode on a camel and walked out of the city gate under the cover of a guard dressed in plain clothes.

However, no one recognized him as the lord of Drondheim despite the noise of people outside the city gate.

Kant and his group, disguised as a trade caravan, traveled in the desert for seven days and arrived at the Undead City.

The sign of the territory of the undead at the city gate had been replaced with the sign of Drondheim’s territory.

Kant’s guards called the city guards above the city gate to open the gate. Under the welcome of the city guards, Kant walked down from the camel’s back and asked the captain of the soldiers, “Where is General Adonis?”

“Reporting to the Lord, the general is leading a team to patrol the city. He should be on his way here now,” the captain of the soldiers bowed his head and replied respectfully.

“Mm, take me to your barracks. I’ll wait for him there,” Kant nodded and said.

“Yes,” the soldier replied. After instructing a soldier beside him to send a message to General Adonis, he got on his horse and let Kant follow behind him.

Kant rode on his camel and moved forward slowly. On the way, he also browsed through the city planning and design of the undead race. It was slightly different from a normal human city.

After a short observation, Kant found that it was as he had expected. The undead race’s cities were all made of stone houses. The distance between them was uneven, and the width of the land was also very different. The streets were also distorted by the construction of these houses.

However, the houses on both sides of the street had been completely dismantled by the repair workers sent by Drondheim. Kant was only observing the exposed foundation and the stone laid on the street, in his heart, he could roughly imagine the original appearance of the Undead City.

Along with the sightseeing, Kant also had a rough idea of the repair project in his heart.

Walking into the military camp, Kant sat down at the main general’s seat and waited quietly.

“Lord Kant!” Following a shout, a tall soldier wearing a war uniform walked into Kant’s tent.

“General Adonis, long time no see.” Kant stood up and greeted with a smile.

Adonis walked to Kant and bowed, panting, he said, “I heard from the soldiers guarding the city that you have arrived here, so I rushed over immediately. I thought that you would only arrive tomorrow, after all, there have been frequent strong winds in the desert recently. The bad weather is not suitable for traveling.”

Kant smiled and replied, “I haven’t been here for long before you came. Why are you in such a hurry? Take a breath and rest first.”

After saying that, Kant ordered the guards to bring a glass of water to Adonis. After Adonis thanked them and took it, he immediately drank it.

“Pardon my rudeness,” Adonis wiped his mouth and said apologetically.

Kant knew that this was his nature. He did not say anything and shook his head with a smile.

“Is the Lord here for the renovation project?” Adonis asked.

“Probably. I don’t plan to stay here for long. I’m just here to see how the progress is.” Kant suddenly thought of something and quickly turned his head and asked, “This place… hasn’t been named yet, right?”

“Yes.” Adonis scratched his head and said, “Someone in the team reported the proposal of the city’s name to you, but didn’t receive a response. We also don’t know what to call this place specifically.”

“Oh, oh. Maybe I missed something.” Kant seemed to recall something and nodded.

In fact, the documents from the ministers or other territories would be classified into various grades because of the large number of documents. Kant was only responsible for dealing with the upper three grades. The rest were handed over to the high-ranking ministers who usually discussed national policies together.

Such a simple and complicated matter like naming was probably passed to the minister in charge and then ignored.

However, Kant did not say that he did not see it. The ministers and officers who submitted the documents only knew that they had to mark the important grades of the documents according to the priority of the matter. However, they did not know that a portion of the document would not be sent to the Lord.

Now that he thought about it, Kant felt that this process was indeed not very strict, and mistakes could appear at any time. After the empire was built, the newly issued constitution had to be amended so that the empire’s machinery could operate without any mistakes.

Adonis did not think too much about it, he only replied, “I heard that Lord, you will be in the Senate Hall every day to revise the document until late at night. Recently, Drondheim had to go out to war often. Lord, forgetting such a small matter is unavoidable, right?”

“Have the rumors about me spread to such a faraway place?” Kant said in a joking tone, “Why don’t you discuss the name of this city and decide for yourself. After all, you guys are the ones who have been guarding this place.”

“Really?” Adonis was a little surprised. They should be the first batch of soldiers who gets to decide the name of the country’s territory.

“Yes.” Kant nodded. “But before you name it, you have to check the background of the name. Don’t name it’s just because it’s pleasant to hear.”

“Okay, thank you, Lord,” Adonis answered excitedly.

“Tomorrow, I will go with the troops in charge of the repairs to the scene to supervise the work. Go and inform the troops in advance. Tell them to do whatever they need to do. Don’t mind me,” Kant said to Adonis in detail.

“Yes,” Adonis bowed and agreed.

Kant’s short-term residence in the main city of the Undead Kingdom was not in the military camp. Instead, it was at the newly built civilian residence next to the original palace.

Kant’s room was arranged on the third floor, while the other guards were resting on the second floor.

After Kant walked into the residence, he looked around, then climbed up the stairs and walked into his own room.

This room was very spacious, and all kinds of facilities were fully prepared.

“Unfortunately, there’s nothing outside the window,” Kant stood by the window and commented as he looked at the ruins of the old palace that had been demolished.

The atmosphere here was completely different from that of Cumberland. Judging from the current trend, this place would be built into a typical industrial city in the future. It would be responsible for providing raw materials and processing.

However, this place and Cumberland had indeed made up for Drondheim’s shortcomings.

“Knock, knock!” The guard knocked on the door of the room.

Kant shouted for him to come in. The guard opened the door and placed a few stacks of blueprints on the table in the living room, he said respectfully to Kant, “My Lord, this was sent by Adonis from the repair staff. Please have a look.”

Kant nodded, indicating that he understood.

The soldier took the candlestick closer to the blueprints and took his leave.

Kant sat down and began to pick up the design and look at it carefully.
