Laena said nothing more. She knew very well that she was not a person who was good at persuading others.
Just tell back what you saw and heard. She can't control what mother and Princess Rhaenyra plan to do.
Laena is not in a hurry to go back, but continues to stay in Valyria city.
Redd has already guessed Laena's purpose, but he doesn't mind at all.
Anyway, Valyria city and the entire Valyrian Peninsula will always appear in front of the world, so he is not afraid that everyone will know.
What can I do if I know? Who dares to rob him?
Everything on this land belongs to him. Whoever dares to get involved will die. I really think Demon Dragon Legion is a vegetarian.
The progress of rebuilding the city of Valyria has been maintained at a steady pace while King Ghidorah continues to transform Fourteen Flames.
Every morning, the first thing Redd does after walking out of the tent is to check the day's construction plan.
Douglas will divide the work content that needs to be completed the next day into areas the night before and record it on a wooden board that has been wiped repeatedly. Redd can grasp the entire day's schedule just by glancing at the wooden board during breakfast.
He will then spend a morning inspecting various construction areas, checking whether the excavation depth of the foundation meets the requirements, whether the stone walls are vertical, and whether the slope of the drainage channel is reasonable.
He does not personally participate in the labor, but he will ask the craftsmen to rework immediately when problems are discovered, or ask the responsible captain to adjust manpower allocation to speed up the progress of a certain area.
The afternoon is usually reserved for the underground Dragonpit.
Redd will lead several followers underground along the passage of the Great Rift Valley, walk in the passage to the current excavation surface, and then direct Demon Dragon through the spiritual link to carry out the crushing and transportation work that needs to be completed that day.
Those Demon Dragon had been waiting in their respective rest areas before he arrived. When he appeared in the passage, they would get up from their prone state, shake the dust off their scales, and wait for instructions.
Redd stood in front of the excavation, closed his eyes, and focused on the main link with King Ghidorah. King Ghidorah then distributed instructions to Demon Dragon who were responsible for different tasks.
After receiving the instruction, each Demon Dragon begins to operate according to the predetermined position and method. Those actions have formed a stable process after being repeatedly executed for many days.
Ehm is responsible for the most critical excavation work.
Its dark red flame beam can penetrate the hardest rock formations and bombard the boulders blocking the passage into transportable pieces within a few breaths.
Redd will first let it deal with the most difficult parts to deal with when King Ghidorah is not present, and then let ordinary Demon Dragon carry the broken gravel and rock blocks to the designated storage point.
Those stacking points are located in the widened areas on both sides of the channel, where gravel and rock blocks are piled into neat square arrays, waiting for subsequent transportation teams to transport them out of the channel for use as fill or paving materials for ground construction.
Redd's role in this process is indeed like a contractor.
He stood at a certain node in the passage, observing the progress of the entire working surface through a spiritual link, giving adjustment instructions to King Ghidorah when necessary, and then watching those Demon Dragon move and work according to his intentions.
The craftsmen and slaves moved to the rhythm of Demon Dragon in the narrow areas on both sides of the passage, loading and carrying fine materials into baskets, or applying mortar and waterproof coating to the completed walls.
When they see Redd approaching, they will not stop what they are doing, nor will they raise their heads to look more, they will just continue to move according to their respective tasks.
They knew very well that if Demon Dragon was disturbed because of someone's actions, that person would end badly.
This combination of fear and efficiency maintains a tense and orderly atmosphere throughout the construction site.
The underground Dragonpit was constructed faster than expected.
The project that originally took three years has now been shortened by at least half.
And in the process, a lot of Valyrian steel was unearthed.
After all, this place was originally a mine. In addition to Valyrian steel, there are also a large number of various types of ores.
These are all unexpected gains. The most precious one is Valyrian steel.
This kind of thing, which was originally rare in stock, is no longer rare.
Because there are huge reserves underneath this land.
Many weapons and armors made by Valyrian steel were not completely destroyed in the apocalyptic disaster, but were only broken and deformed.
As long as these broken weapons and armors are reforged, they can be made into new weapons.
For this reason, Redd has long asked Douglas to pay attention to craftsmen who can recast Valyrian steel.
It's just that it's hard to find craftsmen in this area. After all, this Valyrian steel forging technology has been lost long ago, and the method of recasting it is also well hidden.
Therefore, there are very few such craftsmen, and it will probably take a long time and a lot of effort to find them.
Douglas took on tremendous pressure in this process.
The things he has to deal with every day include port scheduling, material distribution, personnel rotation, construction safety, food consumption accounting, management of Dothraki prisoners, material recruitment by Free Cities, and intelligence transfer with Westeros.
None of these things are easy, but he maintains a fragile balance between Redd's trust and his own ability to execute.
Occasionally, he would sit alone at the end of the trestle in the port late at night, check the day's accounts by the light of the torch, then close his eyes and be silent for a moment, then get up and return to the camp to continue processing the next batch of documents.
The main building of Valyria City begins to take shape.
Stone walls and wooden beams were re-erected on the well-preserved foundations, and the roofs of some houses were restored. Although the area and height are smaller than the original scale, they can at least provide shelter from wind and rain, and can be used for temporary residence and storage of supplies.
Streets were resurfaced, gutters were cleared and deepened, and some public squares were restored to surface.
Although it has not returned to the level of prosperity before the apocalyptic disaster, it has been transformed from a complete ruin into a settlement with basic functions.
The craftsmen and slaves lived in the newly built simple houses, moved from the camp to the ruins every morning, and returned to the camp to rest in the evening.
This two-point and one-line life is fixed in the continuous rhythm of construction and becomes the common daily trajectory of all workers on this land.
Valyria Part of the castle in the center of the city was first completed.
The castle is located to the north of the center of the ruins, built on a cleared high platform, surrounded by collapsed towers and broken wall foundations.
The craftsmen spent nearly two months re-leveling, cutting materials and building bricks in that area, and re-erected a three-story stone castle from the ruins.
