898: Chapter 899: The Blueprint 898: Chapter 899: The Blueprint “That’s right, the houses in the stronghold aren’t built randomly; most still require construction according to the original blueprints.
I rember, according to those blueprints, the tallest we could build was up to twelve floors high, but there’s no need for that at the mont.”
He Nanqing explained with a smile, to which Feng Yuan responded with so surprise,
“Twelve floors high?
Are these still wooden buildings?
No, that’s not right!
Why would anyone design architectural plans for such tall buildings?”
Feng Yuan found this strange since, generally speaking, wooden buildings could only go up to four or five floors at most.
What was the deal with blueprints for a twelve-story building, and it seed to be sothing from the past, too?
“Yes, those blueprints have been around for a long ti, and I don’t know who designed them.
But they seem to be quite good.
If you would like to take a look, I can show them to you.”
“This seems…”
Lanadi and Gladys exchanged a glance.
They quickly understood what might be the situation and nodded.
Gladys nonchalantly picked up a card, tapped her chin, and said,
“That should be it, peering into the future.
However, why not use modern architectural styles?”
Gladys was also puzzled by this.
After all, with modern building thods, it wasn’t a problem to build even twenty floors, let alone twelve.
Of course, that’s another matter if one wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing and functional.
For wooden structures, it’s not that it couldn’t be done, but the difficulty would be great, and there doesn’t seem to be a necessity, does it?
“Perhaps it wasn’t clear?
Or maybe it was misinterpreted?”
Lanadi speculated.
This matter, touching upon prophecies, sparked their interest.
They hadn’t expected to find soone proficient in divination in such a place.
anwhile, Feng Yuan seed to have thought of sothing and gazed toward a distant hill.
After watching the scenery of Fire Stronghold from the Bell Tower’s observation deck and taking so pictures as souvenirs, they followed He Nanqing to her ho to see the architectural plans.
Gladys was curious about this Diviner that history had not recorded, suspecting that the person’s capabilities were probably no weaker than hers, and possibly even comparable to Lorna’s.
“You don’t seem very interested in this, do you?”
Lanadi asked sowhat perplexedly, looking at Feng Yuan, who was trailing behind and currently feeding Xiao Ji with red fruit, casually tossing Red Fruit to it.
Feng Yuan smiled and said,
“Indeed, after all, it’s a design from a long ti ago.
No matter how you look at it, it can’t compare to modern designs.”
“But to be proficient in both architecture and prophecy, why has his na never been recorded?
I’ve never heard of the Divine Land Region persecuting Diviners.”
Lanadi said, puzzled.
The part she couldn’t figure out was how soone capable of such a long-spanning foresight remained unntioned in history, as if they had never existed.
“Who said that?
I estimate very few people don’t know that na.”
Feng Yuan yawned as he spoke, and Veronia said, sowhat puzzled,
“You know who it is?
Could it be that you secretly looked it up?”
“No, but aren’t there only a few ‘Divine Masters’ who fit the bill?”
Feng Yuan casually said as he glanced at Veronia,
“Didn’t you guess?”
After thinking for a while, Veronia shook her head and replied,
“I don’t know.
I don’t understand who it could be.
At least, the docunts I’ve reviewed ntion no Divine Master.
Perhaps Little Crocodile could guess?”
“That one?
It would be surprising if it couldn’t figure it out.”
Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas, who was quietly following beside him.
This was just an avatar; presumably, the original body had already gone to rest, leaving an avatar behind just so Feng Yuan could call upon it if necessary.
“This is the master plan.
We probably don’t need the detailed blueprints, do we?”
Holding a stack of sowhat yellowed blueprints, He Nanqing asked, to which Gladys nodded and replied,
“It’s fine now, but this paper seems a bit special…”
“Yes, it’s specially made paper, using rare materials, but it has a great advantage against the erosion of ti.”
Lanadi observed and said that such items would definitely be beyond Gladys’s knowledge.
After all, rare things are invariably uncommon, and only within the Alliance would one frequently co across similar phenona.
“Precious paper, isn’t it?
Quite a luxury~”
“Indeed, compared with the value of these papers, hiring a well-known designer at the ti would have been cheaper, and even if these papers were kept until now, one could afford those regionally famous architectural planners to design and plan a complete stronghold.”
The ingredients for this kind of paper were too scarce, hence they were highly sought after among large families and nobles.
After all, only materials with a Ti Attribute could withstand erosion by ti, and these were inherently extrely rare.
Plus, they had to be suitable for papermaking, making them all the more exceptional.
“Is this stuff really that precious?”
He Nanqing was startled.
She realized that it seed only ordinary people like them viewed this as a re ordinary stronghold, while both Feng Yuan and Lanadi could discover many astonishing treasures simply by taking a stroll here.
Could it be a matter of perspective?
Indeed, it might be necessary to find a way to let the Beast Tars from the village travel farther, He Nanqing thought silently to herself.
“If it’s a blank sheet of paper, it’s indeed very precious.
But this one has already been used; apart from its collectible value, it’s nothing much, and collectors usually don’t consider this kind.”
Lanadi said with so regret.
At this point, she saw the overall plan for the twelve stories and beca puzzled.
She looked carefully and said,
“Indeed a masterpiece of foresight, because only a modern corner was glimpsed, and hence these designs?”
Looking at the design that hadn’t escaped the mid-Dynasty Era’s way of thinking, Lanadi exclaid with surprise.
She was amazed that soone could glimpse into the modern scene, and as for not breaking free from the confines of the era, that was quite normal.
After all, it was virtually impossible to leap across such a span of ti to see a complete future societal structure and the like.
Divination wasn’t omnipotent; they could only do their best to peek at a corner of the future.
“Quite impressive to incorporate and utilize the appearance of modern architecture, but who exactly is this?
I certainly can’t look across such a long period to see such a complete scene.”
Gladys said in astonishnt.
Her own foresight into the future could only glimpse a vague corner, yet this Diviner could see such a distant future and so clearly?
“You don’t seem surprised at all?”
Lanadi looked at Feng Yuan curiously.
She realized that he didn’t seem to care about this at all.
She didn’t believe he was unaware of what this ant.
Gladys looked at the unsigned signature with so confusion; she indeed hadn’t heard of this Diviner’s na.
“What’s so surprising?
It would be strange if Lorraine Tower couldn’t see that distant a future.”
Feng Yuan said sowhat speechlessly, and Gladys stared at him for a mont before saying,
“Are you saying that Bai is Lorraine Tower?!”
“Isn’t it obvious?
This place is blessed by many Divine Beasts.
What’s so strange about it leaving behind architectural plans?
That guy has lived so long; is architectural design difficult for it?”
Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.
He had thought of this situation at the ti, but they had instinctively assud that it should have been a human deed, completely forgetting the existence of Divine Beasts.
“This truly is…”
Lanadi smiled awkwardly.
If it was Lorraine Tower, then foreseeing such a distant future didn’t seem so strange after all.
Furthermore, those designs mostly used precious materials, sothing ordinary people wouldn’t do unless they knew everything about this place inside and out.
Otherwise, no one would believe that this small stronghold hidden deep in the mountains could find so many precious materials.
“I didn’t expect Lorraine Tower to know so much, and besides, even these designs, if we consider them today, also have their unique aspects.”
As Lanadi studied the blueprint, sensing her regret, Feng Yuan asked her,
“What’s the matter?
You seem a little…concerned?”
“It must be about the new Thousand Stars City.
After all, Thousand Stars City doesn’t have the unique heritage like Maomu or Fire Stronghold.
While the Thousand Stars Tribe is top tier amongst Diviners, it seems a bit difficult to make it a feature of Thousand Stars City.”
Gladys said nonchalantly, and Lanadi gave her an unsatisfied glance, seemingly angry that she had ntioned it.
Hearing Gladys’s words, Feng Yuan thought for a mont and then said,
“If you don’t mind, I could give it a try.”
